摘要
Eu3+-doped SnO2-SiO2 glasses were prepared using a sol-gel method, where nanosized SnO2 crystals of similar to8 nm in diameter were precipitated to dope the Eu3+ ions. When excited at the energy corresponding to the absorption edge of the SnO2 nanocrystals, the SnO2-doped glass exhibits fluorescence intensities of the Eu3+ ions higher than 150 times that of the glass without nanocrystals. The energies, which are absorbed by the quantum-dot effect in the nanosized crystals, are efficiently transferred into the Eu3+ ions to cause the high emission. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
