Abstract

For the fist time in Y2SiO5:Pr3+ nanocrystals, the ordered stage in the 1 D 2 luminescence decay curves for Pr3+ ions has been observed at anomalously low doped ion concentration (0.5 at %). This effect is caused by preferred location of the activator ions in the near-surface layer of the nanocrystal that provides the relaxation of elastic tension arising due to the difference of ionic radii of Pr3+ and Y3+ ions. Concentration quenching of Pr3+ luminescence is caused by the cooperative cross-relaxation.
