Gold nanoparticles enhanced optical properties of Sm3+ doped sodium-lithium-tellurite glass

Enhancing the optical properties of rare earth (RE) doped tellurite glasses by embedding metallic nanoparticles (NPs) with controlled size and optimized concentration is ever-demanding in solid state lasing materials. The influences of gold (Au) NPs concentration on the optical and structural enhanc...
