    Photoluminescence Spectroscopy of Er3+/Yb3+ Co-Activated Silica-Alumina Monolithic Xerogels

    Two Er3+/Yb3+ monolithic silica-alumina xerogels doped with different Yb3+ concentrations were prepared by sol–gel route. The samples were thermally treated in air at 950°C for 120 h, and Raman and UV-visible-NIR...

    Effect of Pr3+ Do** on the OH Content of Silica Xerogels

    Pr2O3-SiO2 xerogels doped with different Pr/Si concentrations were annealed at 900°C for 120 h and then investigated by FTIR, NIR absorption, Raman and luminescence spectroscopies. It is observed that the cont...
