Abstract

The fluorescence of the Tb³⁺ ion in the apatite Ca_10-2xNa_xTb_xF₂(PO₄)₆ (0 ≤ x ≤ 2) is reported. The active ion is quasi exclusively located in the C_s site of the apatitic structure. Non radiative de-excitation from the ⁵D₃ level to the ⁵D₄ can be explained using cross-relaxation; the process is well described using the Inokuti and Hirayama model for a dipole-quadrupole interaction, leading to a Tb³⁺ critical concentration of 2.9% and to a critical distance of 1.21 nm. Moreover, at room temperature, phonons play a role in the ⁵D₃ → ⁵D₄ relaxation, with a very weak probability.
