Abstract:New type plasmonic sensitizer, titanium nanoparticles (Ti NPs) shown potential in enhancing photoluminescence of rare-earth ions (REIs) as doped into magnesium zinc-sulfophosphate (MZS) glass for optical to optic application. Here, neodymium ions (Nd3+)-doped MZS glass with Ti NPs inclusion gone heat treatment (HT) at 450°C for 6 and 12 hours in order to tune the NPs size and tailor their plasmonic strength. The sample was characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron mi… Show more
