TLDR
The properties of an oxyfluoride glass ceramic that possesses high transparency after ceramming are described in this paper, where it is shown that a significant fraction of the rare earth dopant is preferentially partitioned into the fluoride crystal phase.
Abstract
The properties of an oxyfluoride glass ceramic that possesses high transparency after ceramming are described. Approximately 25 vol % of this material is comprised of cubic, fluoride nanocrystals and the remainder is a predominantly oxide glass. When doped with Pr+3, the fluorescence lifetime at 1300 nm is longer than in a fluorozirconate glass, suggesting that a significant fraction of the rare‐earth dopant is preferentially partitioned into the fluoride crystal phase. This material has the added advantage of being compatible with ambient air processing.

Nanophase glass-ceramics

TL;DR: In this article, two types of nanocrystalline glass-ceramics are studied: transparent glass and high-modulus glass with precisely engineered surfaces, and the key crystalline phases include β-quartz solid solutions, characterized by low-thermalexpansion behavior; spinel, with high hardness and elastic modulus; and mullite, which shows unique chromium-luminescence behavior.

New transparent vitroceramics codoped with Er3+ and Yb3+ for efficient frequency upconversion

TL;DR: In this paper, thermal treatment of a fluoroaluminosilicate glass codoped with Er3+•Yb3+ at a suitable temperature, microcrystallites were successfully precipitated in the glass matrix but little change was observed in the optical transmission spectra even around the ultraviolet edge, meanwhile the green upconversion luminescence due to the 4 S 3/2−4 I 15/2transition of Er3+, increased by a factor of ∼100 when a 097 μm laser diode(LD) (5 mW) was used for
