Abstract
The present paper summarizes results of detailed studies of fluorescence decays and lifetimes of Nd3+, Ce3+ and Cr3+ carried out on a large group of YAC.: Nd, Ce and YAC.: Nd, Ce, Cr single crystals. The average and local lifetimes (mainly for4F3/2 state of Nd3+) of these ions are given and an influence of various processes (energy transfers, cross-relaxation, nonequivalent centres etc.) on their decays are qualitatively discussed.
