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

Significant developments have been made in the past few decades for lanthanide (Ln) ions
doped fluorosilicate glass-ceramics (Flusi-GCs). As novel generation of luminescence …

Conventional photoluminescence (PL) yields at most one emitted photon for each
absorption event. Downconversion (or quantum cutting) materials can yield more than one …

Near‐infrared (NIR) light is well‐suited for the optical imaging and wireless phototherapy of
malignant diseases because of its deep tissue penetration, low autofluorescence, weak …

Numerous investigations have been done in pursuing phosphors with quantum yield (QY)
greater than unity in terms of downconversion (DC) strategies, as well as applications in …

Oxyfluorosilicate glasses-doped with different concentrations of Tm 3+ and Tm 3+/Yb 3+
ions have been synthesized and characterized their absorption, photoluminescence …

Abstract Tb 3+/Eu 3+ co-doped transparent glass ceramics containing CaF 2 nanocrystals
were successfully synthesized by high temperature melt-quenching method and subsequent …

This work presents a strategy to modify the UV–vis part of solar spectrum into near infrared
(NIR) region-an operational region for silicon solar cells. CaGa 2 O 4, a wide band gap …

A series of Ce 3+, Tb 3+ and Yb 3+ tri-doped feldspar CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 (CASO) phosphors
have been successfully synthesized at∼ 1350° C under reducing atmosphere. Optical …
