Abstract
The potential of electronic Raman excitation (ERE) spectroscopy in resolving the overlapping spectra of Ce3+ ion in the inequivalent C2, and C3 sites of Y2O3, is illustrated in this paper. The 4f→5d electric- dipole transitions of these centers give rise to the broadband overlapping spectra of Fig. 1. Since, the material is poorly fluorescing, optical excitation spectroscopy is not useful in resolving the spectra.
