Abstract

Rational incorporation of transition metal dopant into glass has been demonstrated to be a promising strategy for functionalization of glass. However, finely tuning the optical response has been met with limited success. Here, we report that the collaborative strategy by codoping and nanocrystallization is an effective way to tune the optical properties of glass. Mn-Ti doped glass and nanocrystallized glass are fabricated and their structural and spectral studies are performed. The results indicate that Mn and Ti ions can effectively incorporate into the nanocrystals after nanocrystallization. This enables to realize tunable colorization from blue and green to yellow. Furthermore, the wavelength tunable luminescence from yellow to green can also be achieved. The interesting optical response is collaboratively contributed by the rich electronic transitions of the co-doped transitions metal dopants and their selective incorporation into the crystalline domains. The findings are supposed to be general to various transition metal dopant combinations, thus paving an effective way for functionalization of glass.
