Er3+ ions‐doped germano‐gallate oxyfluoride glass‐ceramic containing BaF2 nanocrystals was prepared through conventional melt quenching and subsequent thermal treatment method. X‐ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscope images confirmed the formation of BaF2 nanocrystals in glass‐ceramics. Preferential incorporation of Er3+ ions into the BaF2 nanocrystals were confirmed by the absorption spectra and emission spectra, and enhanced upconversion emission and infrared emission were observed. Relatively high transmittance in the mid‐infrared region indicated great potential of this germano‐gallate oxyfluoride glass‐ceramics as host materials for the efficient mid‐infrared emission from rare‐earth ions.
Compared with the strategy of expanding MoS2 interlayer spacing, constructing van der Waals heterostructures of MoS2 and graphene (MoS2/G) has proven to be a more effective method to facilitate the...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
