The luminescence kinetics of Ti3+ ions, resulting from the spin-allowed 2E → 2T2 electron transition, are generally expected to be fast, within microsecond range. However, in this study, we observed average lifetimes up 30 ms nanocrystalline LaAlO3:Ti3+ powders. Our detailed analysis spectroscopic and thermoluminescence properties suggests that prolonged is associated with presence traps proximity excited state conduction band, which facilitates energy transfer between them. Furthermore,...
