Abstract

For colloids of NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+ nanoparticles in DMSO by the method of time-resolved lumi-nescence spectroscopy with nanosecond pulsed excitation at a wavelength of 975 nm the photo-physical processes that determine the course of kinetic curves have been revealed. It has been found that the luminescence rise time decreases with an increase of the concentration of activators and sensitizers due to increase of the efficiency of energy transfer from sensitizers to activators. Cross-relaxation of the excited states of activators provides a decrease of the lumi-nescence decay time with an increase of the concentration of activators and a constant concentration of the sensitizer. There was no correlation between the time of luminescence decay with the change of the concentration of sensitizers and constant concentration of activators due to the competition of the processes of energy back transfer from activators to sensitizers and the "feeding" of activators by excitations coming from remote sensitizer ions.
