Peralkaline Sm 3+ -doped aluminosilicate glasses with different network modifier ions (Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Sr 2+ , Ba 2+ , Zn 2+ ) were investigated to clarify the effect of glass composition and glass structure on the optical properties of the doped Sm 3+ ions. For this purpose, the Sm 3+ luminescence emission…
Understanding the atomic structure of glasses is critical for developing new generations of materials with important technical applications. In particular, the local environment of rare-earth ions and their distribution and clustering is of great relevance for applications of rare earth-containing glasses…
