The partitioning of rare earth ions (REs: Yb3+, Er3+, Eu3+ and Nd3+) in γ-Ga2O3 nanocrystals (NCs) precipitated in a nanostructured silicate glass ceramic is revealed, and the enrichment of REs in the NCs (bulk doping) rather than on the interfaces between the NCs and the surrounding glassy phase (surface doping) is differentiated.

AbstractFluoroindate glasses co-doped with Pr3+/Er3+ ions were synthesized and their near-infrared luminescence properties have been examined under selective excitation wavelengths. For the Pr3+/Er3+ co-doped glass samples several radiative and nonradiative relaxation channels and their mechanisms are proposed under direct excitation of Pr3+ and/or Er3+. The energy transfer processes between Pr3+ and Er3+ ions in fluoroindate glasses were identified. In particular, broadband near-infrared luminescence (FWHM = 278 nm) associated to the 1G4 → 3H5 (Pr3+), 1D2 → 1G4 (Pr3+) and 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 (Er3+) transitions of rare earth ions in fluoroindate glass is successfully observed under direct excitation at 483 nm. Near-infrared luminescence spectra and their decays for glass samples co-doped with Pr3+/Er3+ are compared to the experimental results obtained for fluoroindate glasses singly doped with rare earth ions.

AbstractFerroelectric oxide nanocrystals, in combination with the robust coupling of an electric field with crystal structure symmetry, makes such systems agreeable to field-induced crystal structural transformation. The luminescent properties of rare earth ions are sensitive to the symmetry of the surrounding crystal field. The luminescence tuning of rare earth ions is an important assignment in the research of luminescent materials. However, the current conditional feasibility and reversibility in the exploration of luminescence modification remain major challenges. In this article, the luminescence modulation of rare earth ions has been developed in Yb3+/Er3+ codoped ferroelectrics glass ceramics containing Bi4Ti3O12 nanocrystals through an electric field. The inclusion of nanocrystals in the glass matrix greatly enhances the electrical resistance. Both upconversion and near-infrared emissions of rare earth ions are effectively enhanced more than twice via polarization engineering. The electric field regulates the photonic properties of rare earth ions with excellent reversibility and nonvolatility in ferroelectrics. The effective modification by electric field provides a new scheme for optical storage and optoelectronic devices.

Rare earth fluorides are a class of materials with a high potential for optical applications. Fluoride lattices allow high coordination numbers for the hosted rare earth ions, but the high ionicity of the rare earth to fluorine bond leads to a wide band gap and very low vibrational energies. These two essential factors, in particular, contribute to their practicality for use in optical applications based on vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and near infrared (NIR) excitation. The preparation and optical characteristics of rare earth fluoride nanoparticles and their embedding in polymeric, glassy or porous matrices are very promising for the eventual manufacture of transparent hybrid materials. Recent attempts to control the size of these particles down to the nano-scale and, at the same time, maintaining the performance of their macroscopic counterparts, indicate accessibility of hitherto unrealized optical properties and applications.
