Abstract
Trivalent dysprosium (Dy3+)-doped precursor glass in the K2O–SiO2–SrO–Bi2O3–Ta2O5 (KSSBT) system have been prepared by melt-quench technique and strontium bismuth tantalate, SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) glass-ceramics has been synthesized by a controlled crystallization process of the precursor glass. With progression of heat-treatment it is observed that Dy3+:glass exhibit a blue emission at 486nm (4F9/2→6H15/2) and also a bright fluorescent yellow emission at 576nm (4F9/2→6H13/2) have been observed with λex=455nm (6H15/2→4I15/2). These spectra reveal that the Dy3+ ions are gradually entering into the SBT nanocrystals of the glass-ceramics. The photoluminescence characteristics originating from Dy3+-doping in nanocrystalline SBT reveals the dependence of the luminescent intensity on heat-treatment time. Their structural properties have also been evaluated by FTIR spectroscopic and microstructural studies. Such luminescent glass-ceramics are expected to find potential applications such as solid-state yellow lasers and optical display systems.
