Abstract
Glass ceramics in the form of MI2:Eu crystalline particles grown in MO-B2O3 glass (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) through recrystallization from the alloyed melt were fabricated. Eu2+ ions were detected in the CaI2 and SrI2 crystalline particles (not in the BaI2) inside the corresponding glasses. Some amount of Eu2+ centers are expected to originate from the MO-B2O3 glass hosts as well. This was confirmed by correlated electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), photo- and radioluminescence (PL, RL) measurements. Peculiarities of the Eu2+ distribution and incorporation into the glass ceramics samples as well as charge and energy transfer properties are discussed in detail. Optimal conditions leading to the enhancement of the Eu2+ emission from the CaI2 and SrI2 crystallites inside the glasses were determined.
