Abstract
The mechanism of energy transfer from to ions has been studied in bismuth borate glasses with a serial concentration. The analysis of the donor fluorescence decay with a low concentration has been used to determine the multipole character of the energy transfer. The energy-transfer microparameters were determined and used to calculate the migration-assisted energy-transfer rates on the basis of the hopping model, which are in agreement with those obtained by fitting the fluorescence decay curves. An efficient energy transfer from to in the bismuth borate glasses has been demonstrated.
