Chalcogenide glasses are defined as a new category of non-crystalline solids on the basis
of their characteristic covalent bonds and unique properties, such as broad infrared …

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 …

Transparent bulk glass-ceramics containing ZnF2, K2SiF6, and KZnF3 nanocrystals are
successfully obtained from x KF–x ZnF2–(100–2 x) SiO2 oxyfluoride glasses for the first time …

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 …

Oxyfluoride glass-ceramics (OxGCs) are transparent materials composed by an oxide glass
matrix with homogeneously distributed fluoride nanocrystals. In particular, OxGCs with RE …

In this work transparent erbium doped oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing hexagonal
NaYF 4 nanocrystals has been prepared by melt-quenching and subsequent heat treatment …

This paper presents a review on the preparation of glass-ceramics (GCs) and, in particular,
transparent GCs by the advanced processing technique of spark plasma sintering (SPS) …

Transparent oxyfluoride nano-glass-ceramics have been prepared by melting-quenching
