Abstract

Samples of the Ca₃Sc₂Si₃O₁₂ (CSS) host singly doped with Eu²⁺ or Yb³⁺, doubly doped with Eu²⁺ and Yb³⁺, and triply doped with Ce³⁺, Eu²⁺ and Yb³⁺ were synthesized by a sol–gel combustion process under reducing conditions. Unlike previous reports of Eu²⁺→Yb³⁺ energy transfer in other systems, the energy transfer is resonant in the CSS host and the transfer efficiency reaches 100 % for lightly doped samples. The transfer mechanism is multipolar rather than electron transfer for the sample compositions employed herein. The emission intensity of Yb³⁺ is further enhanced by co-doping with Ce³⁺ in addition to Eu²⁺. The quantum efficiencies of the doped materials range between 9 % and 93 %.
