Impact of ZnO Addition on Er<sup>3+</sup> Near-Infrared Emission, the Formation of Ag Nanoparticles, and the Crystallization of Sodium Fluorophosphate Glass
The impact of the progressive addition of ZnO up to 5 mol% on the thermal, structural, and optical properties of Er<sup>3+</sup>-doped phosphate glasses within the system NaPO<sub>3</sub>-NaF-ZnO-Ag<sub>2</sub>O is discussed. The glass network was found to depolym...
