Energy transfer between silicon–oxygen-related defects and Yb[sup 3+] in transparent glass ceramics containing Ba[sub 2]TiSi[sub 2]O[sub 8] nanocrystals

Song Ye, Bin Zhu, Jin Luo, Yu Teng, Jingxin Chen et al.
We report on the conversion of near-ultraviolet radiation of 250350 nm into near-infrared emission of 9701100 nm in Yb-doped transparent glass ceramics containing BaTiSiO nanocrystals due to the energy transfer from the siliconoxygen-related defects to Yb ions. Efficient Yb emission (F-->F) was dete ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 93, 181110 (2008)] published Thu Nov 6, 2008.
