Optical properties of divalent samarium-doped fluorochlorozirconate glasses and glass ceramics

Synthesis and Sm2+/Sm3+ doping effects on photoluminescence properties of Sr4Al14O25

“…Absence of broad emission indicates high enough energy gap between 5 D 0 and the lowest 4f 5 5d 1 levels leading to negligible thermally excited electron bridging. However in this scenario the emission lines from 5 D 1 -7 F J in the range 600-700 nm are expected [18]. But emission data given in Fig.…”

Optical properties of erbium-doped fluorochlorozirconate glasses

“…225-270°C) to form a transparent glass-ceramic (GC) in which hexagonal-phase BaCl 2 nanocrystals are nucleated in an FCZ glass matrix. The properties of FCZ glasses and glass-ceramics doped with various rare earth ions for a variety of applications have been, of course, studied before; see for example [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Of particular interest has been Eu-doped FCZ GCs, which show potential as x-ray storage and scintillator phosphors (e.g.…”

“…Er-and Nd-doped FCZ glasses exhibit up-conversion and show potential for use in photovoltaic applications (e.g. [5,6,[8][9][10]). While x-ray phosphor and up-conversion applications represent valuable potential uses for rare-earth doped FCZ glasses and glass-ceramics, there is also interest in examining the properties of FCZ:Er for potential applications in telecommunications, which was one of the reasons for studying the present FCZ:Er system.…”

Research on effect of ZrO2 on thermal stability and structure of Ga/In based fluoride glasses

“…So researchers focus on fluoride glasses doped with oxides which can improve these properties. A considerable number of publications dealing with the properties of fluoride glasses have been published such as ZrF 4 -BaF 2 -LaF 3 -AlF 3 -NaF (ZBLAN) system [5][6], LiF-NaF-ZrF 4 system [7], LnF 3 -(Ln, Zr)-ZrF 4 system (where Ln = Sm, Eu, Tm, Yb) [8], ZrF 4 -NaF-AlF 3 -LaF 3 -SmF 3 -BaF 2 -BaCl 2 system [9] and so on. Yet, only a few studies have been published on GaF 3 /InF 3 based glasses [10][11][12].…”
