Rare earth (RE) doped oxyfluoride glass ceramics possess interesting optical properties
with applications in telecommunications and optoelectronics, such as solid state lasers …

Significant developments have been made in the past few decades for lanthanide (Ln) ions
doped fluorosilicate glass-ceramics (Flusi-GCs). As novel generation of luminescence …

Depending on the composition of the glass and the annealing procedure supplied, thermal
annealing of silicate glasses in the system SiO2/Al2O3/AlF3/Na2O/Gd2O3/SmF3 led to the …

Glass-ceramics (GCs) are constituted by nanometer-to-micron-sized crystals embedded in a
glass matrix; usually, their structural or functional elements (clusters, crystallites or …

Abstract Eu 2+-doped alkaline-earth silicates are the second most studied group of
persistent luminescent inorganic phosphors after aluminates, such as SrAl 2 O 4. Silicates …

Oxyfluoride glass-ceramics (OxGCs) are transparent materials composed by an oxide glass
matrix with homogeneously distributed fluoride nanocrystals. In particular, OxGCs with RE …

In this work transparent erbium doped oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing hexagonal
NaYF 4 nanocrystals has been prepared by melt-quenching and subsequent heat treatment …

Optical, structural and morphological properties of Tm 3+/Yb 3+ co-doped NaYF 4-based
nano-glass-ceramic and a precursor glass have been investigated. The controlled heat …

The structural and luminescence properties of Tm 3+ doped CaF 2 based
oxyfluoroborosilicate glasses and glass ceramics were discussed. The critical glass ceramic …
