Up-conversion process in erbium doped lithium fluoride bulk crystal, lithium borate glass and glass ceramics

Erbium energy bridging upconversion mechanism studies on BAKL:Er3+/Yb3+ glass-ceramics and simultaneous enhancement of color purity of the green luminescence

“…The simplicity and large-scale manufacturing are two advantages of the solid-state reaction approach in inorganic chemistry. Previous upconversion studies on lithium oxyfluroborate glass ceramic hosts 23,24 show that with proper stoichiometric composition and a combinational advantage of the glass former, a modifier and binder are needed for intense emission from borate hosts. Despite the recent progress, the improvement of the UC emission efficiency and the unique color tuning pro-…”

EPR spectra of the Mn2+ion in the oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing BaF2nanocrystalline phase

“…These materials possess high optical transparency, good mechanical and chemical properties. Crystalline component in the glass matrix provides low phonon energies thus energy transfer in rare earth ions could happen more efficiently than in the glass material alone [1][2][3]. The crystallites in the host glass matrix are created using thermal treatment.…”
