Dy3+‐doped oxide glass with 30 mol.% Gd2O3 content in the glass host was prepared by melt quenching under CO reducing atmosphere. The luminescence properties were investigated under UV and X‐ray excitation. The 4F9/2→6HJ (J = 15/2, 13/2, 11/2, and 9/2) luminescence was observed with intense blue (484 nm; 4F9/2→6H15/2) and yellow (576 nm; 4F9/2→6H13/2) emissions. Energy transfer from Gd3+ to Dy3+ ions was confirmed by photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra as well as photoluminescence decay measurements. The integral scintillation efficiency of 11% of Bi4Ge3O12 scintillator was obtained.
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.
