Silver nanoparticles (NPs) embedded Er3+ ions doped magnesium-tellurite glasses are prepared using melt quenching technique. Heat treatment with different time intervals above the glass transition temperature is applied in order to reduce the silver ions (Ag+) to silver NPs (Ago). The transmission e...
