Abstract Stained‐glass windows are often painted with grisailles and enamels. These glassy materials have a low melting temperature fixed to the base glass by firing processes. Lead and/or boron commonly added painting material lower their so that they can melt without deforming support. In present study, model samples (with well‐known content), replica historical were analysed for composition using Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) Induced Breakdown...
Transparent oxyfluoride glass-ceramics doped with rare earth ions (RE3+) are promising materials for photoluminescence up- and down-conversion. In this study, glass compositions within the system 40SiO2–25Al2O3–18Li2O–7LiF–10YF3 (mol.%) ErF3 codoped ErF3/YbF3 were prepared by melt-quenching method subjected to thermal treatment at temperatures above transition (Tg + 35 °C) long dwell times obtain corresponding glass-ceramics.

Oxyfluoride glass-ceramics (OxGCs) are transparent materials composed by an oxide glass matrix with homogeneously distributed fluoride nanocrystals. In particular, OxGCs RE-doped lanthanide-fluoride nanocrystals of special interest for photonic applications. More than 600 publications including several review papers were indexed on Scopus related to “glass-ceramics” revealing the importance topic. Melt-quenching followed thermal treatment, is most used preparation method, which allows in...
Nd3+-doped, LaF3-based, transparent oxyfluoride glass-ceramics (GCs) containing Ag nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared by a melt-quenching method. Different Ag-containing precursors were employed being AgNO3 the most suitable for obtaining NPs segregated in glassy matrix. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy determined presence of Ag0 NPs, with higher concentrations produced an inert atmosphere (N2). The spectral features emission excitation spectra, addition...

Transparent oxyfluoride glass-ceramics (GCs) containing KLaF4 nanocrystals (NCs) doped with Nd3+were prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). Glass powder pellets were sintered under a vacuum atmosphere, optimizing the processing parameters such as particle size, pressure, temperature, and holding time to obtain full densification. Transparency decreased when decreasing size due higher carbon contamination from die. The α-KLaF4 crystalline phase was identified X-ray diffraction (XRD) its...
