The luminescent properties of the crystals were investigated through photoluminescence excitation, emission spectra, and decay curves. With the excitation of Tb<sup>3+</sup> ion by a 486 nm light, emission between 980 and 1030 nm from the Yb<sup>3+</sup>:<sup>2</sup>F<sub>5/2</sub> → <sup>2</sup>F<sub>7/2</sub> transition was observed, and this emission originated from the DC between Tb<sup>3+</sup> and Yb<sup>3+</sup> ions. The energy transfer processes are studied based on the Inokuti-Hirayama´s model, and the interaction between Tb<sup>3+</sup> and Yb<sup>3+</sup> is confirmed to be electric dipole-dipole. The large quantum cutting efficiency approaches up to 166.7% for 0.32 mol% of Tb<sup>3+</sup> and 7.98 mol% of Yb<sup>3+</sup> co-doped LiYF<sub>4</sub>, which is potentially used as a DC layer in silicon-based solar cells.</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Keywords</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>crystal growth; lithium compounds; luminescence; photoluminescence; photonic crystals; photons; quantum optics; terbium; ytterbium; Bridgman method; DC layer; Inokuti-Hirayama model; LiYF4 single crystals; LiYF<sub>4</sub>:Tb<sup>3+</sup>,Yb<sup>3+</sup>; cooperative down-conversion luminescence; crystal growth; decay curves; electric dipole-dipole; emission spectra; energy transfer processes; luminescent properties; near-infrared photons; photoluminescence excitation; quantum cutting efficiency; silicon-based solar cells; wavelength 1030 nm; wavelength 486 nm; wavelength 980 nm; yttrium lithium fluoride single crystals; Absorption; Crystals; Ions; Licenses; Photonics; Photovoltaic cells; <formula formulatype= $hbox{LiYF}_{4}$ single crystal; $hbox{Tb}^{3+}$; $hbox{Yb}^{3+}$; I-H model; down-conversion; energy transfer;
