New glass ceramics: an effective conjunction of wet chemistry synthesis and sintering

Abstract

A glass with CdS nanoparticles was used simultaneously as a matrix for Ce-doped garnet and a yellow-red phosphor to prepare luminescent glass ceramics for the sources of white light. CdS nanoparticles compensate for the unbalanced Ce3+ emission spectrum of the composite material due to the addition of a red component. The synthesized composite material can be a tunable light converter due to altered luminescence spectra by changing the sintering conditions and excitation wavelength © 2023
