The non‐radiative decay of the 5d excited state of Ce 3+ ions in Y 2 O 2 S was studied with fluorescence spectroscopy. It is shown that temperature quenching of Ce 3+ ion fluorescence is due to high‐order multiphonon relaxation. The direct evidence of spatial confinement effect in multiphonon relaxation was obtained: relaxation is more efficient in nanoparticles than in micron‐sized particles.
