Hybridization Engineering of Oxyfluoride Aluminosilicate Glass for Construction of Dual-Phase Optical Ceramics.

The construction of transparent ceramics under mild conditionsand standard atmospheric pressure has great scientific and technological potential; however, it remains difficult to achieve when conventional ceramic sintering techniques are used. Herein, a mild strategy for constructing dual-phase optical ceramics with high crystallinity (>90%) based on the stepped dual-phase crystallization of hybridized aluminosilicate glass is presented. Theoretical and experimental studies reveal that the hybridization of the glass system enables a new balance between the glass-forming ability and crystallization and can overcome the uncontrolled devitrification phenomenon during the dense crystallization of glass.

In situ glass crystallization is an effective strategy to integrate lanthanide-doped upconversion nanocrystals into amorphous glass, leading to new hybrid materials and offering an unexploited way to study light-particle interactions. However, the precipitation of Sc-based nanocrystals from glass is rarely reported and the incorporation of lanthanide activators into the Sc-based crystalline lattice is formidably difficult owing to their large radius mismatch. Herein, it is demonstrated that lanthanide dopants with smaller ionic radii can act as nucleating agents to promote the nucleation/growth of KScF nanocrystals in oxyfluoride aluminosilicate glass.

Structural Origins of RF/NaRF Nanocrystal Precipitation from Phase-Separated SiO-AlO-RF-NaF Glasses: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study.

Oxyfluoride glass-ceramics with RF or NaRF (R: rare earth elements) nanocrystals are considered as favorable hosts for luminescence applications. In this work, we utilized large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with effective partial charge potentials to study a series of oxyfluoride glasses that are of interest to the precipitation of RF or NaRF nanocrystals as previous experiment results suggested. The results show that phase separation exists in all glass compositions with fluoride-rich regions made up of R, Na, and F and oxide-rich regions consisting of aluminosilicate networks.

Luminescent properties of Tb3+ and Gd3+ ions doped aluminosilicate oxyfluoride glasses.

Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc

November 2011

Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hunan University of Arts and Science, No. 170 dongting Road, Changde 415000, Hunan, People's Republic of China.

Tb(3+) and Gd(3+) ions doped lithium-barium-aluminosilicate oxyfluoride glasses have been prepared. The transmission, emission and excitation spectra were measured. It has been found that those Tb(3+)-doped lithium-barium-aluminosilicate oxyfluoride glasses exhibit good UV-excited luminescence.
