QUENCHING OF FLUORESCENCE BY CROSS RELAXATION INLaF3 : Pr3+

Abstract
The temporal dependence of the fluorescence from the 3P0 level in concentrated samples of LaF3 : Pr3+ has been modeled in terms of cross relaxation processes due to either short range superexchange or long range electric dipole-electric dipole ion pair interactions. Both models can be fitted to the observed data, however, it is concluded that the picture of a single dominant microscopic interaction is not sufficient to completely describe the macroscopic properties of the emission.
