Fluoride phosphate/fluorophosphate (FP) glasses form an intriguing material's basis for
diverse applications in optics, photonics and energy storage. The optimization of the …

Optical thermometry via luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) is often explored in the visible
spectrum range of trivalent rare earth doped materials but much less so in the near infrared …

We report a detailed structural investigation of a series of fluoride–phosphate glasses with
different phosphate/fluoride ratios in the system xSr (PO3) 2–(100− x)[AlF3–CaF2–SrF2 …

We report near-infrared to ultraviolet (UV) upconversion emissions in triply-doped Gd3+–
Tm3+–Yb3+ fluoride–phosphate glasses. Emission at 310 nm, originated from the Gd3+ …

Glasses remain a focus of attraction to fundamental researchers and materials engineers
alike. The desire of controlling physical property combinations by compositional design …

The local structure of the model glasses (NaPO3) 1–x-(AlF3) x (0≤ x≤ 0.4), prepared by
standard melt-cooling, was extensively investigated by high-resolution solid-state nuclear …

Oxyfluoride glasses in the systems (55–x) SiO2–(15+ x–z) Al2O3–z La2O3–10CaO–20CaF2–
y ErF3 (x= 0, 5, 10, 15; y= 0.5, 1, 1.5; z= 0, 2, 5 mol%) were prepared by conventional melt …

In this manuscript, samarium (Sm 3+)-doped titania-oxyfluorophosphate (PCfBfTiS) glasses
have been fabricated using regular melt-quenching procedure. These glass samples were …

Four glass series with identical nominal composition of (100-x) NaPO3-xAlF3 (NAPF), with
x= 0 to 40 mol%, were prepared by melting under different conditions and are compared …

Rare-earth (RE) containing alkali aluminoborosilicate glasses find increasingly broad
technological applications, with their further development only impeded by a yet-poor …
