Glass systems of 73TeO2-4BaO-3Bi2O3-2Eu2O3-xAg (in molar ratio where x = 0, 1, 2, and 3) compositions have been successfully synthesized. Silver nanoparticles were obtained with the employment of heat treatment (HT) procedure executed at 350°C. Glass transition temperatures of different compositions have been determined through DSC measurements. XRD results presented characteristic amorphous halo indicating lack of long range order in the samples. FTIR structural studies revealed that glass matrix is mainly composed of TeO3 and TeO4 species and is stable after different applied heat treatment times. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements confirmed that in selected samples part of Ag ions changed oxidation state to form Ag0 species. TEM measurements revealed nanoparticles of size in the range of 20–40 nm. UV-vis absorption results demonstrated characteristic transitions of Eu3+ ions. Additionally, UV-vis spectra of samples heat-treated for 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours presented bands related to silver nanoparticles. Photoluminescence (PL) studies have been performed with excitation wavelength of λexc=395 nm. Obtained spectra exhibited peaks due to 5D0-7FJ (where J=2,3,4) and 5D1-7FJ (where J=1,2,3) transitions of Eu3+. Moreover, luminescence measurement indicated enhancement of rare earth ions emissions in several of the annealed samples. Increase of emission intensity of about 35% has been observed.

Introduction of metallic nanoparticles into glasses can obviously improve the up-conversion luminescence efficiency through surface plasmon resonance (SPR). In this research, the Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped TeO2-ZnO-Bi2O3 glasses containing silver nanoparticles and nanocrystals were prepared by direct current(DC) electric field assisted heat treatment, to study the effect of silver nanoparticles on the up-conversion luminescence properties of Er3+. The results show that, although the introduction of AgNO3 will weaken the thermal stability of TZB-ErYb to some extent, the number and size of silver nanoparticles can be increased after DC electric field treated at 100°C for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, the nanocrystals do not grow too large to affect the up-conversion emission intensity of Er3+. The up-conversion emission intensity of Er3+ in TZB-ErYb-6AgNO3-100°C-150V-10min is 43 times stronger than that of TZB-ErYb. These results indicate that DC electric field assisted heat treatment can synergistically adjust the silver nanoparticles and nanocrystals and is a promising method to improve the luminescence properties of tellurite glasses.
