Enhanced infrared to visible upconversion emission in Er3+ doped phosphate glass: role of silver nanoparticles
Phosphate glasses containing fixed concentration of rare-earth with and without metallic nanoparticles (NPs) having compositions (59.5-x) P2O5-MgO-xAgCl-0.5Er2O3, where 0 = x = 1.5 mol% was prepared using melt-quenching technique. Spectral characterizations were made using UV-VIS-IR spectroscopy and...
