Luminescence and energy transfer in uranium-containing aqueous solutions of dysprosium decatungstate

Abstract

Samples of uranium-containing liquid luminophores activated with Dy³⁺ were prepared, and their properties were studied experimentally. Optical excitation of aqueous DyW₁₀O₃₆^9– solutions leads to the transfer of the excitation energy from the decatungstate ligand to Dy³⁺, followed by sensitized luminescence of Dy³⁺.
