Bismuth is one of the most thoroughly investigated main group elements, which has been
regarded as 'the wonder metal'because of its diverse oxidation states and profound …

Abstract Novel optical glasses 10ZnO-5Na 2 CO 3-10Bi 2 O 3-(75-x) B 2 O 3-xEr 2 O 3 with
x=(0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0) mol%, were synthesized by melt quench technique and …

For the first time, direct experimental evidence of the formation of monovalent Bi (ie, Bi+) in
zeolite Y is provided based on the analysis of high-resolution synchrotron powder X-ray …

Luminescent materials derived from the functionalization of zeolite with lanthanide
(Ln3+/zeolite) constitute an intense research topic since such materials combine the …

In the last decades, in the field of silicon microphotonics many efforts have been made to
find strategies in order to obtain efficient luminescence from silicon or from Si compatible …

Solid-state reaction is the most common method for preparing luminescent materials.
However, the luminescent dopants in the hosts tend to aggregate in the high-temperature …

Abstract Glasses based on 10ZnO-5Na 2 CO 3-10Bi 2 O 3-(75-x) B 2 O 3-xEr 2 O 3 with
x=(0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0) mol%, were synthesized by melt quenching technique and …

We have developed a facile low-temperature synthetic method for the preparation of
NaMnF3 nanocubes with Er3+ and Yb3+ ions homogeneously incorporated in the host …

We investigate the infrared-to-visible upconversion (UC) fluorescence properties of Bi–Er–
Yb codoped zeolites. It is revealed that the UC emissions can be well controlled by the Yb3+ …

A new material based on Er3+-exchanged zeolite L crystals, in which oxygen vacancies
have been generated, is proposed as an efficient emitter in the near infrared third …
