In this study, the photoluminescence (PL) behavior of two aluminosilicate glass series containing alkali-niobates ranging from 0.4 to 20 mol% was investigated. The glasses exhibit an intense visible emission centered at ~18,400 cm−1 for the peralkaline series and at higher energies (~19,300 cm−1) for the metaluminous glasses. However, the photoluminescence emission intensity varies significantly with the niobate content and the bulk chemistry. PL and fluorescence lifetime measurements indicate that the broad emission bands result from the overlap of different niobate populations, whose distribution changes with niobate content. The distinct PL behavior in the two glass series was related to the structural evolution of the niobate units upon niobium addition. An enhancement of the visible emission was observed for a higher fraction of distorted [NbO6] units. Eu-doping was carried out as a structural probe of the glass network, and also to determine if these glasses could be used as potential rare earth element (REE) activators. The crystal field strength around Eu ions is strongly dependent on the bulk chemistry and the niobate content. Furthermore, the peralkaline series showed energy transfer from the host [NbO6] to Eu3+, confirming the feasibility of exploring niobate glasses and glass-ceramics as lanthanide ion-activated luminescent materials. In addition, glass-ceramics (GCs) containing alkali-niobate phases with a perovskite-like structure were developed and studied to verify the optical performance of these materials. It was verified that the bulk chemistry influences crystallization behavior, and also the photoluminescence response. The transparent GC from the metaluminous series exhibits a quenching of the Eu3+ emission, whereas an enhanced emission intensity is observed for the peralkaline GC. The latter shows a strong excitation-dependent PL emission, suggesting energy transfer and migration of electronic excitation from one Eu population to another. Additionally, Eu3+ emissions arising from the D15 and D25 excited states were observed, highlighting the low phonon energy achievable in niobo-aluminosilicate hosts.

“…Thus, this article considers the incorporation of nanocrystals in a glass following these previous works, but with the approach of previous mix the nanocrystals with the glass as a powder instead of adding them in the liquid glass. It's described the preparation and characterization of composite-glasses obtained by the incorporation of crystalline Eu 3+ -doped lanthanum niobate nanoparticles (LaNbO 4 :Eu 3+ ) [15][16][17][18] in tellurite glasses of TeO 2 -GeO 2 -Nb 2 O 5 -K 2 O-Li 2 O system. This system was selected because, among other characteristics, it has low softening temperature and high thermal stability against crystallization.…”

A direct-doping method was tested to design new composite-glasses by incorporating lanthanum niobate nanocrystals (NC) in tellurite glasses. NC powder were grinding with glass powder before heating-quenching, with the main investigation approached of best parameters for NC suitable homogenization but limited dissolution. Thermal analysis signalizes that prior heat-treatment of NC promotes higher transparency and limits NC dissolution. These materials with visually detectable NC aggregates exhibited glass transition temperatures close to the starting glass. LaNbO 4 phase was hardly detected by X-ray diffraction because of the low weight ratio and partial dissolution but the monoclinic polymorph could be identified for lower time. UV-visible-NIR transmission spectra also related progressive lower transparency with light scattering of NC aggregates. Photoluminescence suggest that lower times allowed to ensure the NC environment with lower crystallinity around Eu 3+ -ions in final composite-glass. These results pave the way for designing new materials containing NC not achievable by conventional nucleation-growth methods.

Rare‐earth (RE)‐activated inorganic nanophosphors have garnered significant attention due to their unique optical properties and versatile applications in fields ranging from lighting and displays to biomedical imaging. The mini review provides a concise overview of recent advances in the synthesis strategies employed for the fabrication of these nanomaterials. Various synthesis techniques, including solid‐state, sol‐gel, solution combustion, hydrothermal, co‐precipitation, and microwave methods have been discussed, highlighting their advantages and limitations in tailoring the properties of nanophosphors. Furthermore, the role of different rare earth dopants and host matrices in controlling the luminescent properties of nanophosphors has been explored. Future perspectives and emerging trends in preparation of RE‐activated inorganic nanophosphors has also been discussed, with an emphasis on addressing current challenges and exploring new avenues for the fabrication of adequate and functional nanomaterials.
