Abstract

Eu3+ doped CaO-WO3-SiO2 transparent glass-ceramics were prepared by melting crystallization method, and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The heat treatment conditions of glass ceramics were determined. The crystal phase of glass ceramics is CaWO4 (41-1431). As the crystallization time increased, the content and the size of crystals increased and the crystal shape transformed from sphere to irregular polyhedron and small amount of hexagon. Eu3+ doped CaO-WO3-SiO2 glass ceramics show strong red light emission. According to the effect of Eu3+ as ion microprobe, it was confirmed that Eu3+ has already entered the crystalline field. Under the same heat treatment conditions, the strongest intensity of luminescence was obtained with 5wt% of Eu3+ doped. The effect of Na+ on luminescent properties of the glass-ceramics was also investigated and it was proved that Na+ was helpful to efficiency of the luminescence..
