The energy transfer mechanism between an Yb 4f shell and an InP host was investigated, assuming that a nonradiative multiphonon process assists the energy transfer. The values of the energy involved in the energy transfer were determined from the results of optical and electrical experiments. Rate equations were solved to obtain the temperature dependence of the Yb intra‐4f‐shell luminescence decay time. The calculated results and the experimentally obtained temperature dependence agree well. The calculated temperature dependence of the Yb intra‐4f‐shell luminescence intensity also agrees with the experimental measurements. These results strongly suggest that phonon absorption and emission compensate the energy mismatch in the energy transfer processes. The calculations also indicate that the thermal quenching phenomenon is mainly determined by the energy mismatch between the recombination energy of an electron and a hole and the Yb 4f‐shell energy between the excited and ground states. On the basis of th...
