Abstract

In this work we have developed a model for the kinetics of the energy transfer from the host lattice to the localized core excited states of rare earth isoelectronic structured traps (REI-trap). We have derive a set of differential equations for semi-insulating semiconductor governing the kinetics of rare earth luminescence. The numerically simulated rise and decay times of luminescence show a good quantitative agreement with the experimental data obtained for InP:Yb, over a wide range of generation rates.
