Research on glass nanocomposites (GNCs) has been very active in the past decades.
GNCs have attracted—and still do—great interest in the fields of optoelectronics, photonics …

Metal nanoparticles sensitized rare earth ions–doped inorganic oxide glasses with improved
optical characteristics and optimum compositions became demanding for practical …

Method of melting and quenching was used to prepare the alkali borate–based glasses
embedded with Nd 3+ ions and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). In the as–prepared glass …

Rare earth doped molybdate single crystals are excellent laser working media. The growths
of molybdate single crystals are money-cost and time-consuming. It would be preferable if …

This study is devoted to investigate the role of Au 0 particles on the improvement of
luminescence efficiency of Ho 3+ ions in a non-conventional lead boroselenate glass …

Sodium fluoro-phosphate glasses co-activated with Sm 3+ ions and silver nanoparticles
(NPs) were prepared. X-ray diffraction pattern shows the formation of crystalline silver …

In this study, tellurite glasses co-doped with Er 3+/Tm 3+ were synthesized through the melt-
quenching technique. Under 808 nm excitation, the spectral overlap of 1.53 µm band …

Abstract In this paper, Ho 3+, Yb 3+ and metal Ag nanoparticles (NPs) tri-doped tellurite
glass were synthesized by melt quenching. Combining X-ray diffraction, Raman …

Ascertaining plasmonic interaction induced by silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs)
in the amorphous system can open a new direction in photonics. In this outlook, various …

The development of the metallic nanoparticles-sensitised and lanthanides-doped multi-
functional luminescent glass-ceramics (GCs) for advanced applications remains …
