Abstract
Optical luminescence emission of 0.9Nd3+–80SiO2–LaF3 glass ceramic.
Highlights
Glass is a key material with a wide range of applications, ranging from traditional glassware products to advanced optical materials
Significant improvements in certain properties may be achieved on preparation of glass ceramics (GCs) through controlled crystallisation.[1]
The first papers reporting the processing of pure LaF3 on silica glass substrates by sol–gel were published in 1998 by Fuhijara and Tada (1999), who showed that control of the synthesis parameters and heat-treatment were essential to obtain transparent LaF3 materials avoiding the precipitation of other phases such as LaOF.[13,14]
