摘要
A strong green emission of U3+ ions in LaCl3 under red excitation has been observed for the first time. The main anti-Stokes fluorescence arises from the U3+ K-2(15/2) state (around 550 nm). Theoretical analysis and decaytime measurement of the induced fluorescence show that there are two mechanisms for the up-conversion. The first one consists in excited state absorption and the other one is due to energy transfer between two U3+ ions in the F-4(9/2) state. In addition a detailed study of infrared emission spectra of LaCl3:U3+ has been carried out and lifetimes of main fluorescent levels were measured at low temperature. From this study three new experimental levels have been assigned. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
