“…This is due to direct energy transfer from CTS to the 5 D 1,0 energy states, which allows the CTS band to feed directly to the lower energy states of 5 D 1,0 . In contrast to the CTS band, 4f electrons are well shielded from the surroundings by filled 5s and 5p orbitals [26][27][28], so the influence of the energy transfer for f-f transition is too weak to be considered. Therefore, the 5 D 1,0 state transition is more effective than the 5 D 3,2 transition under CTS excitation [29].…”
