Europium luminescence in silver and gold nanoparticles co-embedded phosphate glasses: Judd-Ofelt calculation

Photoluminescence modification of europium(iii)-doped MAl2O4 (M = Zn, Mg) spinels induced by Ag@SiO2 core–shell nanoparticles

“…Furthermore, the synergistic use of Au nanorods and AgNPs led to an extraordinary enhancement of the PL up to 53.5fold. 35 Moreover, concerning practical applications, the enhancement of Eu 3+ holds significance in sensing, 36 optical materials 37 and luminescent solar concentrators. 38 Spinel-type oxides like ZnAl 2 O 4 and MgAl 2 O 4 present interesting electrical, magnetic, catalytic and optical properties.…”

Effect of Gold Nanoparticles on the Crystallization and Optical Properties of Glass in ZnO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 System

“…Similarly, glass-ceramics based on metal NPs (mainly silver or gold) are in great demand as new nonlinear optical and plasmonic materials [12][13][14][15][16]. Moreover, glass-ceramics with metal 2 of 15 NPs are promising systems for the implicating of the effect of rare-earth ion fluorescence enhancement [17], and different combinations of the interaction between NPs and rare-earth ions have been demonstrated to modify the spectral properties of glass-ceramics [18][19][20][21].…”
