Terbium hexa-antipyrine tri-iodide STATb(AP)/sub 6/I/sub 3/! forms well- defined crystals that fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light. Crystals are prepared of Gd/sub 1/-/sub x/,Tb/sub x/(AP)/sub 6/I/sub 3/, Dy/sub 1/-/sub x/Tb/ sub x/ (AP)/sub 6/I/sub 3/, Er/sub 1/-/sub x/Tb/sub x/(AP)/sub 6/I/sub 3/, and Y / sub 1/-/sub x/Tb/sub x/(AP)/sub 6/I/sub 3/, with x values from 10/sup -6/ to 1. The relative fluorescence intensity under UV light of the resulting crystals to the pure Tb(AP)/sub 6/I/sub 3/ crystals at 5490A is studied, and the relative energy dissipation properties of Gd, Dy, Y, and Er are inferred from the results.
