In the world of light-emitting diodes, Tm3+-doped glass ceramics are a crucial fluorescent material. In this study, melt-crystallization was used to create glass ceramics that were Tm3+-doped and included crystalline NaLa(MoO4)2. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmittance, and photoluminescence spectroscopy were used to examine the structure, morphology, and luminescence characteristics of glass ceramics (PL). According to the findings, keeping the precursor glass at 660 °C for two hours produced microcrystals with an average size of 280 nm. Also covered is how the concentration of Tm2O3 doping affects the luminous characteristics of glass ceramics. The strongest blue light is produced at 454 nm (1D2→3F4) when Tm2O3 concentration is 0.8 mol%. The findings demonstrate that Tm3+-doped glass ceramics containing NaLa(MoO4)2 crystalline phase have promise for use in the area of color displays.

In this study, 3 at.% Yb3+: CaxSr1−xF2 nanopowders were synthesized via the chemical co-precipitation method. Highly transparent 3 at.% Yb3+: CaxSr1−xF2 ceramics with various CaF2 concentrations were fabricated by hot-pressed sintering. The 3 at.% Yb3+: CaxSr1−xF2 nanopowders exhibited a spherical shape with slight agglomeration, and their particle size ranged from 26 nm to 36 nm. With an increase of the CaF2 concentration, the peak shape changed significantly and the width of the emission band increased inhomogeneously. The minimal fluorescence lifetime at the wavelength of 1011 nm of 3 at.% Yb3+: CaxSr1−xF2 transparent ceramics with various CaF2 concentrations was higher than 3.25 ms, which was longer than that of the 3 at.% Yb3+: CaF2 (2.6 ms) and the 3 at.% Yb3+: SrF2 (3.22 ms) reported in previous literature. The results indicate that incorporating Ca2+ ions into the SrF2 is an effective method to modulate the optical properties of transparent ceramics.
