Probabilities for Radiative and Nonradiative Decay of Er 3 + in La F 3

The rates of radiative and nonradiative decay were determined for several excited states of ${\mathrm{Er}}^{3+}$ in La${\mathrm{F}}_{3}$ from calculated spontaneous emission probabilities and measured lifetimes. Electric-dipole, magnetic-dipole, and electric-quadrupole transition probabilities were ... View More
