Transparent Sol-Gel Oxyfluoride Glass-Ceramics with High Crystalline Fraction and Study of RE Incorporation

Transparent oxyfluoride glass-ceramic films and self-supported layers with composition 80SiO<sub>2</sub>-20LaF<sub>3</sub> doped with Er<sup>3+</sup> have been successfully synthesized by sol-gel process for the first time. Crack-free films and self-supported laye...

Crack-free films and self-supported layer with a maximum thickness up to 1.4 µm were obtained after heat treatment at the low temperature of 550 °C for 1 min, resulting in a LaF<sub>3</sub> crystal fraction of 18 wt%, as confirmed by quantitative Rietveld refinement.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance confirmed that the Er<sup>3+</sup> ions are preferentially embedded in the low phonon-energy LaF<sub>3</sub> nanocrystals.

The effective concentration of rare-earth ions in the LaF<sub>3</sub> nanocrystals is also estimated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy.This research was funded by Spanish National projects MAT2017-87035-C2-1-P/2-P (AEI/FEDER, UE), MAT2016-75362-C3-1-R, and Basque Country University PPG17/07 and GIU17/014We acknowledge support by the CSIC Open Access Publication Initiative through its Unit of Information Resources for Research (URICI)Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing InstituteConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (España)Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (España)Universidad del País VascoEuropean CommissionGorni, Giulio [0000-0001-8227-9022]Velázquez, Jose J.
