Abstract
Sensitized fluorescence in glass phosphors occurs via a direct transfer of excitation energy from tin to manganese centers. The transfer process is described in terms of its efficiency and the fraction of tin centers which participate. A statistical model for energy transfer is developed on the basis of a random distribution of tin and manganese ions and is shown to be consistent with the experimental data. The effective transfer range of approximately 8.8Aå encompasses about 33 cation sites surrounding a tin center.
