Er3+‐doped fibers are widely used as 1.55 µm broadband optical amplifiers. Tellurite
glasses are particularly suitable as a gain medium due to their lower phonon energy and …

The application of a DC current allows fast (few minutes) Ag+→ Na+ ion exchange in soda–
lime–silicate (SLS) glass. The effect of processing parameters, electric current, and treating …

We investigated the formation of very small Ag nanoparticles of 1–2nm size in soda-lime
glass with enhanced amounts of iron oxide by Ag/Na ion exchange procedures. The …

The biocompatibility of photosensitive glasses allows various biomedical applications; one
is the field of tissue engineering and more precisely microengineered tissue-on-a-chip …

A two-step procedure for the formation of silver nanoparticles embedded in a glass matrix is
studied. The procedure consists of:(i) the inclusion of silver ions in the glass matrix by …

The impact of the progressive addition of ZnO up to 5 mol% on the thermal, structural, and
optical properties of Er3+-doped phosphate glasses within the system NaPO3-NaF-ZnO …

This paper presents a voltage-induced and thermal annealing rearrangement (VITAR)
method based on modified electric field assisted film dissolution method as a flexible and …

Structural characteristics and optical properties of monometallic and bimetallic Ag and Au
nanoparticles in the surface region of soda-lime glass fabricated by ion implantation have …

The development of monodisperse crystalline particles in cordierite glass doped with Cr3+
after a two-step heat treatment is elucidated by a combination of time-resolved small and …

Abstract Ag nanoparticles of 1.5 to 7 nm size were produced by ion exchange of soda-lime
glass for various duration. Information on local order and thermal vibrations were available …
