Ligand-metal energy transfer

In the following discussion, we analyze some factors responsible for the Eu3+ and Tb3+ luminescence intensity, that is the efficiencies of the ligand absorption, of the ligand-metal energy transfer, and of the metal luminescence. Furthermore, we compare the intensities of the metal luminescence...
