Photoluminescence Study of Eu-Species Incorporated in Lithium Tetraborate and Silica
Abstract
Steady-state – excitation and emission – photoluminescence spectra of europium species incorporated in single crystal and glassy lithium tetraborate (LTB) and silica are reported. Kinetic features, decay curves of the emission and lifetime data were measured. Spectral characteristics were analyzed with the aim of distinguishing the oxidation state, site-symmetry and morphology of europium species in different solid-state host matrices.References
