Europium luminescence in silver and gold nanoparticles co-embedded phosphate glasses: judd-ofelt calculation
Some europium ions (Eu3+) activated magnesium-zinc-sulfophosphate glasses with the silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) co-embedment were prepared via the melt-quenching method. The as-prepared samples were characterised using different analytical techniques to determine the effect of vario...

Some europium ions (Eu3+) activated magnesium-zinc-sulfophosphate glasses with the silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) co-embedment were prepared via the melt-quenching method. The as-prepared samples were characterised using different analytical techniques to determine the effect of various Au NPs contents (0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, and 0.30 g) on their spectroscopic characteristics. Furthermore, the Judd-Ofelt theory was used to evaluate the intensity parameters and radiative properties of the glasses. These glasses showed very high optical gain (in the range of 5.10 × 10−25 to 15.87 × 10−25 cm2 s−1) and branching ratio (from 8.27 to 61.6%).
