AbstractThe regression analysis of the rise kinetics of up-conversion luminescence of the LiY_0.8Yb_0.2F_4:Tm^3+ (0.2 at %) crystal is performed. The kinetics curve is obtained with rectangular pulsed excitation by radiation from a laser diode (IR LD) with a wavelength of λ_ p = 933 nm. The most important—in these experimental conditions—mechanisms of the energy transfer from Yb^3+ ions to Tm^3+ ions are established, which are responsible for the transitions between the ground ^3 H _6 and excited ^3 F _4, ^3 H _4, ^1 G _4, ^1 D _2, and ^1 I _6 terms of the Tm^3+ ions. The durations of the relevant energy transfer processes are determined. It is shown that the energy transfer between rare earth ions in the LiY_0.8Yb_0.2F_4:Tm^3+ (0.2 at %) crystal occurs through the dipole–dipole interactions.

The behavior of near-field heat transfer between molecules at gaps which are small compared to wavelength of light is greatly influenced by non-radiative dipole-dipole interactions between the molecules. Here we derive the coupling parameters and estimate the near-field heat transfer between two molecules using coupled Drude oscillators. The predictions from this model are verified with results from standard fluctuational electrodynamics principles. The effect of orientation factor of the dipole moments in the molecules traditionally taken into consideration for analysis of resonance energy transfer between molecules but hitherto overlooked for near-field heat transfer is also discussed.

The ability to convert between molecular spin states is of utmost importance in materials chemistry. Förster-type energy transfer is based on dipole-dipole interactions and can therefore theoretically be used to convert between molecular spin states. Here, a molecular dyad that is capable of transferring energy from an excited triplet state to an excited singlet state is presented. The rate of conversion between these states was shown to be 36 times faster than the rate of emission from the isolated triplet state. This dyad provides the first solid proof that Förster-type triplet-to-singlet energy transfer is possible, revealing a method to increase the rate of light extraction from excited triplet states.

Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) is a process by which a fluorophore (the donor) in the excited state transfers its energy to a neighboring fluorophore (the acceptor) non-radiatively through dipole-dipole interactions. Since the efficiency of energy transfer varies as the inverse of the sixth power of the distance separating the donor and acceptor chromophores, for FRET to occur the distance between the two molecules cannot exceed 10 to 100 angstroms (1 to l0nm). The combination of FRET and optical microscopy allows examination and quantitation of dynamic molecular interactions between cellular constituents at resolutions beyond the Abbe diffraction limit of light microscopy. Through the microscope one may detect FRET by an overall decrease in fluorescence emission of the donor with a concomitant increase in fluorescence emission of the acceptor.

Abstract The concentration dependence of energy transfer from Cr3+ to Nd3+ at the 4T1 level excitation in Nd/Cr:YAG was investigated by the fluorescence decay curves of Cr3+ and Nd3+ for Nd/Cr:YAG and Cr:YAG ceramic powders in the Cr3+ concentration range of 0.1 to 6.0 mol%. The energy transfer process between Cr3+ and Nd3+ at the 4T1 level excitation is tried to explain using a rate equation that assumes energy transfer from the 2E–4T2 level to Nd3+ on the basis of dipole–dipole interactions, the same as the 4T2 level excitation. In conclusion, the energy excited to the 4T1 level will relax non-radiatively to the 2E–4T2 level and then transfer to Nd3+. It is presumed there will be no direct transfer from the 4T1 level to Nd3+. Our rate equations will be useful when simultaneously exciting the 4T1 and 4T2 levels of Cr3+ in Nd/Cr:YAG using broadband pumping sources.

Microanalysis by EELS has been developing rapidly and though the general form of the spectrum is now understood there is a need to put the technique on a more quantitative basis (1,2). Certain aspects important for microanalysis include: (i) accurate determination of the partial cross sections, σx(α,ΔE) for core excitation when scattering lies inside collection angle a and energy range ΔE above the edge, (ii) behavior of the background intensity due to excitation of less strongly bound electrons, necessary for extrapolation beneath the signal of interest, (iii) departures from the simple hydrogenic K-edge seen in L and M losses, effecting σx and complicating microanalysis. Such problems might be approached empirically but here we describe how computation can elucidate the spectrum shape.The inelastic cross section differential with respect to energy transfer E and momentum transfer q for electrons of energy E0 and velocity v can be written as
