This paper discusses lanthanide doped luminescent materials which can modify the solar
spectrum to reduce the spectral losses encountered by PV (photovoltaic) devices and …

A simple optical model is presented to describe the influence of a planar luminescent down-
shifting layer (LDSL) on the external quantum efficiencies of photovoltaic solar cells. By …

In this present work, we reported on a novel cyan-emitting phosphor Ba 3 Lu 2 B 6 O 15: Ce
3+, Tb 3+ prepared by a conventional solid-state method and evaluated its potential as a …

Glass-ceramics (GCs) are constituted by nanometer-to-micron-sized crystals embedded in a
glass matrix; usually, their structural or functional elements (clusters, crystallites or …

The structural and optical properties of Er 3+/Yb 3+ codoped LaF 3 phosphors are
investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and upconversion luminescence spectra. The …

A color of blue-red emission by Ce 3+ and Sm 3+ activated fluorophosphate glasses
(PKABfNf: P 2 O 5+ K 2 O+ Al 2 O 3+ BaF 2+ NaF 2) were successfully fabricated by using …

Abstract Ce 3+, Tb 3+ and Sm 3+ oxyfluoroborate glasses were prepared and characterized
using absorption, photoluminescence and time decay spectral analysis respectively. The …

Abstract Ce 3+ single-doped, Ce 3+-Tb 3+, Ce 3+-Eu 3+ and Tb 3+-Eu 3+ co-doped, and Ce
3+-Tb 3+-Eu 3+ triply-doped nano-glass-ceramics (nGCs), containing cubic 10 nm size …

Transparent oxyfluoride nano-glass-ceramics (GCs) containing GdF 3 nanocrystals
undoped and doped with 0.5 Eu 3+(mol%) were obtained by a novel sol–gel method after …

An efficient near-infrared (NIR) phosphor LiSrPO_4: Eu^ 2+, Pr^ 3+ is synthesized by solid-
