abstract = "Ce and Ca co-doped LiGdF4-LiF eutectics were grown and their directionally solidified eutectic (DSE) system has been investigated. In these eutectics, apart from the expected 305 nm emission of the regular Ce3+, 310 nm emission of the Gd3+ and Ce3+ -perturbed emission around 320-380 nm was observed. Ce3+-perturbed emission at 340 nm shows the intrinsic decay time of about 27 ns. In photoluminescence mechanism the observed decay time shortening of the regular Ce3+ and Gd3+ centers point to the energy transfer in the sequence the regular Ce 3+?→ (Gd3+)n?→ the perturbed Ce 3+ sites.",
