Abstract
Application of pressure to the nonemitting system Lu2O3:Ce3+ leads to the generation of luminescence in the visible. The luminescence is assigned to the 5→d4f transition of Ce3+, and is attributed to a pressure-induced electronic crossover of the excited 5d state of Ce3+ and the conduction-band edge of Lu2O3. The results yield insight into the emission efficiency of 5→d4f transitions, and provide a foundation for advancing new phosphors and tunable laser materials in the visible and ultraviolet based on the broad 5→d4f emission of lanthanides.
