Abstract
The isochemical glass-ceramics doped with Eu3+ were prepared by the heat treatment of lanthanum magnesium borate glass. The crystalline phase was chemically identical to a glass matrix and consisted of condensed borate LaMgB5O10. The isochemical crystallization process begins with the formation of rings by BO4 groups. The emergence of ordered crystalline phase gives rise to intense charge transfer absorption of Eu3+, allowing the efficient luminescence under UV. The analysis of Judd–Ofelt parameters and comparison to purely crystalline samples obtained by solid-state synthesis reveal a switch of parameter relations from Ω2 > Ω4 for glass to Ω2 < Ω4 for crystals but also a maximum value of Ω6 for glass-ceramic sample, which indicates enhanced structural rigidity and results in superior luminescence output. The quantum yield measurements confirmed higher luminescence efficiency for glass-ceramics compared to both pure glass and pure crystalline samples.
