Abstract
Nd3+‐ion‐doped ZnCl2‐based glasses were prepared via the melt‐quenching method. The Nd3+‐ion upconversion excitation mechanism and the ability to disperse Nd3+ ions into ZnCl2‐based glasses were investigated using absorption and upconversion fluorescence spectra of Nd3+ ions. The ZnCl2‐based glass that had an average cationic radius equal to the ionic radius of Nd3+ (98 pm) had the greatest ability to disperse Nd3+ ions. The 20KCl·25BaCl2·55ZnCl2glass, which had the average cationic radius nearest to 98 pm, dispersed Nd3+ ions the most, and it had the strongest upconversion fluorescence.
