Abstract

Fluorescence of rare earth (RE) ions arising from f-f transitions in Pr3+, Eu3+, Tb3+, Dy3+, Ho3+, Er3+ and Tm3+ was observed front the ions adsorbed on porous Vycor glass or on pressed discs of fumed silica. The non-radiative relaxations of the excited states were depressed as a result of a strong chemical bond between the ions and silica acting as a ligand.
