The chemical behavior of trivalent cerium (Ce3+) and holmium (Ho3+) dissolved in a LiCl-KCl eutectic melt was investigated through a spectroscopic analysis. The molten LiCl-KCl bath was constructed using an externally controlled high-temperature furnace apparatus. Ultraviolet-visible absorption and fluorescence spectra were recorded at 400 degrees C. We observed heavily broadened and intense fluorescence spectra of Ce3+ attributed to the electric-dipole-allowed 5d-4f transition. The fluorescence signal of Ho3+ separately dissolved in the LiCl-KCl eutectic was difficult to detect in the visible range. The fluorescence emission of Ho3+ containing various intra-f transitions in the visible range was strongly enhanced when Ho3+ and Ce3+ ions were co-dissolved in a LiCl-KCl eutectic melt.
