Abstract: | An investigation of spectroscopic properties of (SrTiO3-TiO2):Pr3+ eutectic and, for comparison, of bulk SrTiO3:Pr3+ and TiO2:Pr3+crystals is presented. Luminescence spectra have been measured under both 450 nm and 350 nm excitation wavelength. For UV excitation they are characterized by a dominant red luminescence corresponding to transition from the 1D2 level of Pr3+ ions. The mechanism responsible for quenching of blue (from 3P0 state) and intensification of red luminescence is proposed to be thermally-induced radiationless relaxation involving a low-lying Pr3+-Ti4+ intervalence charge transfer state. Measured decay constants of 1D2 excited state of Pr3+ are compared with values obtained for other praseodymium doped titanate hosts. |
