“…The several band peaks at 326 nm, 350 nm, 365 nm, 387 nm, 426 nm, 453 nm and 473 nm correspond to the transitions from the ground state 6 H 15/2 to the excited states 4 K 15/2 ; 4 P 7/2 ; 4 P 3/2 ; 4 F 7/2 ; 4 G 21/2 ; 4 H 15/2 ; and 6 F 9/2 , respectively, and the maximum excitation wavelength is located at 350 nm [15,16,18]. 4 :Dy 3+ will be discussed as representative. Three emission bands peaked at 484 nm, 575 nm and 680 nm are observed.…”
