The photoionization of Ce3+ is investigated by determining the optical absorption changes and the electron spin resonance changes that occur when cerium-containing silicate glasses are illuminated with ultraviolet light. The results are: (1) The room temperature quantum yield of photoelectrons from Ce3+ is 0.1. (2) The optical absorption and the electron spin resonance bands caused by trapped photoelectrons are found. (3) A Ce3+ ion from which a fourth electron has been removed by photoionization is different from a Ce4+ ion.

- If an ion in some host material can exist in two different states both of which have optical absorption bands, then the total absorption coefficient is
= n3
3+n4
4. n3 and n4 are the concentrations of the ion in the two states. The
's are the absorption cross sections. The total concentration of ions is n = n3+n4. Substituting this equation into the expression for
gives
= n
3+n4(
4−
3). If the absorption bands of the two states overlap, there will, in some cases, be a wavelength such that
4 =
3;
= n
3. At this wavelength
depends only on n. It is independent of the relative populations of the two states. The absorption curves obtained by holding n constant and by varying n3/n4 all pass through one point at this wavelength. This point is the isosbestic point. - W. W. Wargin and G. O.

- The half-width used here is the energy difference between the absorption maximum and the long wavelength point where the absorption is half the maximum.
