Abstract Ce 3+-doped transparent glass-ceramics containing ZnO nanocrystals were
successfully prepared. The optimal heat treatment condition was determined by DSC, XRD …

Research on glass nanocomposites (GNCs) has been very active in the past decades.
GNCs have attracted—and still do—great interest in the fields of optoelectronics, photonics …

Ultra-small sliver nano-clusters are a novel kind of materials with excellent
photoluminescence properties, which have potential application in the fields of integrated …

Metallic (Cu m) n+ nanoclusters are superior to their (Au m) n+ and (Ag m) n+ counterparts
in the aspect of being relatively cheap for wide industrial demands. However, further …

Silver molecular clusters were synthesized in photo-thermo-refractive glasses using the Na+–
Ag+ ion exchange technique followed by heat treatment. Comprehensive study of cluster …

This work investigates the optical properties of Yb3+ ions doped GeO2-PbO glasses
containing Ag nanoclusters (NCs), produced by the melt-quenching technique. The lack in …

Borate glasses doped with Ag clusters and Yb 3+ were prepared using the conventional
melt-quenching method. Fluorescence spectra and decay curve measurements confirmed …

In this work, a novel Ag nanoparticle doped bismuth glass frit was fabricated by the melt-
quenching method. The effect of varying heat treatment temperature on the structural and …

Silver quantum clusters ([Ag m] n+ QCs) are a type of efficient broadband fluorescence
centers with m and n related quantum size effects but usually lack chemical and thermal …

Femtosecond laser inscription in a ytterbium-doped silver-containing phosphate glass is
demonstrated by achieving 3D highly localized laser-induced silver photochemistry. The …
