The presented work shows the study of energy transitions in the NIR and visible regions in the system of Bi2O3 and Tm2O3 powders. Mechanisms of upconversion luminescence and NIR luminescence between two Bi3+ and Tm3+ ions at T = 80 K accompanied with nonradiative energy transfer through the vibrational levels were investigated under IR photoexcitation. The absorption bands of the samples on the reflection spectra were examined in the visible region. The values of the emission cross-section parameters were calculated for the Bi2O3/Tm2O3 complexes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
