Abstract

Nonequilibrium excited vibronic states of Cr⁴⁺ ions in Mg₂GeO₄ were studied with the upconverted hotluminescence technique. From the discrete spectral peaks observed, information on the nonradiative relaxation of the Cr⁴⁺ ions was obtained. The phonon modes involved in the nonradiative relaxation were measured to be ω₁ = 451 ± 20 cm^-1, ω₂ = 342 ± 20 cm^-1, and ω₃ = 252 ± 20 cm^-1. The experiment also shows the presence of an electronic bottleneck centered at ∼2.1 eV. These findings are compared with results previously obtained in Cr⁴⁺-doped Mg₂SiO₄ and provide information on the nonradiative relaxation of the same ion in different host crystals.
