(a) Luminescence decay curves of Bi4Si3O12: 2 at% Eu3+ phosphor measured at 10–498 K by excitation at 393 m monitoring the 5D0–7F2 emission, (b) Luminescence decay lifetime as a function of temperature for Bi4Si3O12: 2 at% Eu3+. The dots are experimental data and the solid curve is the fit to the Eq. 2 in the text.
