The emission properties of Ag NCs dispersed in a fluorophosphate glass have been studied. White light is generated under UV excitation due to the presence of a variety of Ag NCs with different sizes, emitting in the blue, green and red regions.
Silver-containing glasses are promising candidates for photonic applications, due to the potentiality of spectroscopic properties of silver nanoclusters (NC's) and/or silver metallic nanoparticles. In this framework, silvercontaining fluorophosphate glasses are candidates with a strong potential.
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.
