Abstract
The Eu<sup>2+</sup>/Tb<sup>3+</sup>/Sm<sup>3+</sup> co-doped oxyfluoride
glass ceramics containing Ba<sub>2</sub>LaF<sub>7</sub> nanocrystals are prepared in
the reducing atmosphere. The X-ray diffraction results show that Eu<sup>2+</sup>,
Tb<sup>3+</sup> and Sm<sup>3+</sup> ions are enriched into the precipitated
Ba<sub>2</sub>LaF<sub>7</sub> nanophase after the annealing process. It deduces
efficient energy transfers from Eu<sup>2+</sup> to Tb<sup>3+</sup> and
Sm<sup>3+</sup> and intenses warm white luminescence of the glass ceramics.
Comparing with the glass, the luminescence quantum yield of the glass ceramics is
also enlarged by about 3 times. This demonstrates the potential white light-emitting
diode application of the glass ceramics produced in this letter.
