The melt quenching technique was used to prepare Er 3+ ion doped phosphate glasses
containing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The amorphous nature of the glass is confirmed by …

Er3+‐doped fibers are widely used as 1.55 µm broadband optical amplifiers. Tellurite
glasses are particularly suitable as a gain medium due to their lower phonon energy and …

In this work, a novel Ag nanoparticle doped bismuth glass frit was fabricated by the melt-
quenching method. The effect of varying heat treatment temperature on the structural and …

This work demonstrates that metallic nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in rare-earth (RE) co-
doped dielectrics are able to produce an effect analogous to a reduction in the effective …

This work reports the plasmon enhanced near-infrared emission from Er 3+-doped Bi 2 O 3-
B 2 O 3-SiO 2 glass prepared by conventional melt-quenching method. The silver …

In this work, the impact of Ag 2 O on the thermal, structural, and Near-IR luminescence of Er
3+ doped calcium-fluorophosphate glasses is investigated. The amount of silver oxide in the …

A robust aluminophosphate glass matrix containing substantial amounts of Cu 2 O and SnO
has been prepared by the melt-quenching technique, and the luminescent properties have …

Adsorption is a rapid and known method to treat wastewater and remove contaminants such
as ammonia (NH3+) and nitrogen derivatives. Herein, novel adsorption materials are …

Prospective applications of noble metal and rare-earth co-doped dielectrics in optical
devices demand for a comprehensive understanding of the influence of material …

Silver–silver iodide (Ag–AgI) films are photosensitive materials in the visible light region. In
this work, the colour change in Ag–AgI films under low-power monochromatic laser …
