Yr. Shen et al., EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE ON RADIATIVE AND NONRADIATIVE-TRANSITIONS OF SM2+ IN SRFCL, Journal of luminescence, 72-4, 1997, pp. 266-267
We measured the D-5(2,1,0) --> F-7(0) fluorescence intensities and dec
ay patterns of Sm2+:SrFCl in a temperature range between 12 K and RT.
Further measurements of the D-5(0) --> F-7(0) decay patterns at RT wer
e performed at pressures up to 80 kbar. The observation of their tempe
rature and pressure dependence revealed the strong interconfigurationa
l interaction between 4f(6) and 4f(5)5d(1). The experimental results w
ere quantitatively analyzed in the context of the SCC model.
