TABLE 2.
Solid-state lifetimes of LnIII centers at multiple temperatures from the [Eu] complex series, averaged across variable excitation wavelengths (298 K: dark red, 150 K: light red, 77 K: dark blue, 20 K: light blue). Both EuIII and TbIII values are calculated average lifetimes from a bi-exponential fit.
| Lifetime | EuIII τavg (ms) | TbIII τavg (ms) | |||
| Complex | [Eu] (± 0.05 ms) | [Eu]2DTPA (± 0.03 ms) | [Eu2Tb] (± 0.02 ms) | [Eu2Tb] (± 0.02 ms) | |
