Abstract

Abstract. Dy3+ -doped K2GdF5 single crystals were synthesized under hydrothermal condition. The UV excitation spectra and lifetimes of K2GdF5:Dy3+ were measured at room temperature. The excitation spectra have shown charge transfer state (CTS) of Dy3+ and energy transfer from Gd3+ to Dy3+ ions in K2GdF5:Dy3+ crystal. The decay curve of the K2GdF5 sample doped with 5.0 mol % Dy3+ ions is a non – exponential curve and is well fitted to the Inokuti – Hirayama model for S = 6. The energy transfer parameters (Q, CDA) and the critical distance (R0) are calculated.

Keywords: K2GdF5 single crystal, Inokuti – Hirayama model.
