Popis: Energy transfer from a sensitizer to an activator via Gd3+ ions is discussed. This is done for the Bi3+ → Dy3+ and Sb3+ → Dy3+ transfer in , and for the Bi3+ → Tb3+ transfer in . The phosphor shows Tb3+ luminescence with a quantum efficiency of 80% for excitation of Bi3+. After excitation of Bi3+, energy transfer takes place to Gd3+ ions. Then the energy may migrate from one Gd3+ to another until energy transfer from Gd3+ to Tb3+ occurs. Compared to the energy transfer in other sensitized Tb3+ phosphors, this process has a high efficiency at relatively low activator concentrations. The energy transfer from Bi3+ to Gd3+ and between Gd3+ions mutually has been investigated for . For energy transfer between Gd3+ ions is observed. The quantum efficiency of the Gd3+ luminescence for Bi3+ excitation of amounts to 75% and decreases for increasing Gd concentrations.
