Room temperature steady and time resolved emission spectra of LiIn<sub>1−<i>x</i></sub>Tm<sub><i>x</i></sub>(WO4)2 (where thulium concentration is 0, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 at%) blue phosphors, under UV excitation energy have been investigated. The concentration quenching effect on the blue emission, due to the (WO<sub>4</sub>)<sup>−2</sup> groups and <sup>1</sup>G<sub>4</sub>→<sup>3</sup>H<sub>6</sub> emission transition of Tm<sup>3+</sup> were studied. Two energy transfer mechanisms are shown. The first takes place between excited (WO<sub>4</sub>)<sup>−2</sup> groups and the <sup>1</sup>G<sub>4</sub> energy level of Tm<sup>3+</sup>, and is mainly analyzed by phonon-assisted energy transfer. The second mechanism is due to an energy transfer from the excited Tm<sup>3+</sup> ions to the surrounding ground state Tm<sup>3+</sup> ions. The non-exponential decay curves of the <sup>1</sup>G<sub>4</sub> level observed for higher concentrations are analyzed by the Inokuti–Hirayama model. We think that the quenching effect between Tm<sup>3+</sup> ions is mainly linked to the dipole–dipole interactions.< Leer menos
