Here we report the sol-gel processing of P₂O₅-CaO and P₂O₅-CaO-Li₂O MPBGs using Pluronic P123 as the surfactant. Our results showed that P123 could act as a crystallization inhibitor, thus extending the composition range of MPBGs. The concentration of CaO from 40 to 55 mol% in P₂O₅-CaO MPBGs did not affect the phosphate chain structure and mesoporous morphology. However, the specific surface area and pore volume were slightly enhanced with the increased CaO concentration. In ternary P₂O₅-CaO-Li₂O MPBGs, the increase in Li₂O concentration (from 5 to 20 mol%) did not alter the phosphate chain structure and mesoporous morphology. However, 20 mol% Li₂O incorporation induced crystallization. Binary and ternary MPBGs showed relatively low acellular bioactivity as indicated by the slow formation of hydroxyapatite in physiological fluids. Sol-gel processing is a feasible strategy for synthesizing P₂O₅-CaO and P₂O₅-CaO-Li₂O MPBGs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids: X","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49207066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key results include the increase of network connectivity towards the anode after poling, with NC varying from 2.24 before poling to 2.37 at the anode after poling. SHG measurements showed the presence of an optically-inactive layer of 1.0 μm thick below the anode, followed by an optically-active layer where the SHG signal is maximized from about 1.5 to 4.0 μm. In this layer the NC takes intermediate values and reflects modest changes with respect to the pristine bioglass.

Presented herein are the important advancements in the development of a novel oxyfluoride GCS of the composition (SiO₂-Al₂O₃)_(100-a) (YLiF₄)_b: (YbF₃)_b (a = 35 and 40; in mol %, b = 1 and 2 mol%) with the corresponding parent glasses with an in-depth investigation on enhancing the optical performance for laser cooling. Depending on the oxide/fluoride (O/F) ratio and ytterbium content the internal quantum yield (iQY) varied between 70 and 99% in glass ceramics at several excitation wavelengths. The optical properties of GCs containing YLiF₄ and YF₃ nanocrystals obtained from the same initial composition (modulated by time and fusion temperature) were compared to find the optimal composition for optical refrigeration. Low fluorine content led to the generation of YLiF₄ as a major phase after ceramization and high fluorine content helped in the generation of the YF₃ phase. An increase in the radiative lifetime of YF₃ GCs compared to YLiF₄ GCs has been found to coincide with the enhancement of the PLQY, which is beneficial for laser cooling. The temperature change (ΔT) change measured using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in the glass and glass-ceramic samples with different pump wavelengths showed significant heat mitigation near ∼1030 nm. The observed enhanced PL intensity, iQY and lifetime after purification of YLiF₄ glasses imply that the purity of the material plays a paramount role in lowering the background absorption and enhancing the quantum yield. Looking ahead, we see a bright future for oxyfluoride GCs in applications requiring the ultimate levels of thermal, mechanical and optical performance, especially for the development of cryocooler devices, which are still technologically challenging and expensive. The usage of GCs will open up new possibilities in optical cooling technology, enabling cooling devices of any size and shape.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids: X","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45713664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
