研究目的
To develop and characterize Cr3+-Yb3+ codoped glass-ceramics containing KZnF3 nanocrystals for enhanced near-infrared emission under solar excitation, aiming for applications in spectral conversion and solar-pumped fiber lasers.
研究成果
The Cr3+-Yb3+ codoped KZnF3 glass-ceramic exhibits significantly enhanced near-infrared emission due to efficient energy transfer from Cr3+ to Yb3+ ions, with higher energy transfer efficiency and lower non-radiative probability compared to the pristine glass. It is a promising material for spectral conversion from visible sunlight to near-infrared emission and for use in solar-pumped fiber lasers, with good stability against environmental effects.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific compositions and heat treatment conditions; higher Cr3+ concentrations may not dissolve well in the glass host, and the material's performance under varying environmental conditions (e.g., extreme temperatures or humidities) was only briefly tested, indicating potential areas for optimization in stability and efficiency.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved fabricating pristine glasses (PGs) and glass-ceramics (GCs) through melting and thermal treatment, followed by characterization using XRD, TEM, HR-TEM, transmission spectroscopy, PL, PLE spectra, and fluorescent lifetime measurements to investigate luminescent properties and energy transfer.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared with specific mol% compositions of 20KF-60SiO2–20ZnF2-xCr2O3-yYbF3 (x = 0.025, 0.035, 0.5; y = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7), using reagent-grade materials. Data were collected from measurements on these samples.

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included a D8 advance X-ray diffractometer (Bruker), transmission electron microscope (Tecnai G2, FEI), UV/VIS/NIR spectrophotometer (Lambda-900, PerkinElmer), fluorescence spectrometer (FLS920, Edinburgh Instruments), and solar simulator (Solar-500, Nbet). Materials were SiO2, ZnF2, KF, YbF3, Cr2O3, and a Platinum Rhodium crucible.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
PGs were melted at 1500°C, cast, annealed, and heat-treated at 540°C to form GCs. Samples were cut into parallelepipeds for measurements. XRD was performed with Cu-Kα irradiation, TEM/HR-TEM for morphology, transmission spectra measured, and PL/PLE/lifetime spectra recorded under various excitations including a solar simulator.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using exponential fitting for lifetimes, calculation of energy transfer efficiency (ηET = (τ0-τ)/τ0), and comparison of emission intensities and spectra.
