“…Prior works indicated that various rare earth (Tb 3+ , Sm 3+ , Pr 3+ , and Ce 3+ )-and transition metals (Mn 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Co 2+ )-activated zinc borosilicate glasses have been studied to investigate luminescence properties [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Furthermore, the effect of adding transition metals (Nb, Mn, V, and Co) on the crystallization behavior of zinc borosilicate glasses has been examined [18,[22][23][24]. However, in those studies, the effect of substituting zinc oxide with silicon dioxide and boron oxide on the luminescence behavior of zinc borosilicate glasses was not investigated in detail.…”
