Abstract

Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The Authors. Color Research and Application published by Wiley Periodicals LLC. ; New photoluminescent materials have numerous possibilities in many different areas from technological applications to contemporary glass art and design, encouraging the development of new forms and products. Glass luminescent materials, known for their exceptional durability and recyclability, position glass as an ideal solution for fostering a more sustainable future. In recent years, white luminescence in glass and ceramics has been the subject of several investigations about its possible application in white light-emitting diodes (WLED). Color coordinates and CIE chromaticity diagrams serve as valuable tools to represent and define the range of luminescent colors achievable in a particular composition. These aid in understanding wheter a composition can be used to produce white luminescence or various other colors. In this study, a soda-lime silicate glass composition was doped with a mixture of different lanthanide oxides to increase the luminescence color palette. The same glass sample can also present different colors by changing the excitation light, allowing higher tunability of luminescent colors. It was effectively demonstrated the extensive spectrum of colors produced, which was represented through luminescence color coordinates for all synthesized glasses. Moreover, the possibility of detecting if an excited state process is occurring was studied by calculating the lanthanides factors and comparing them with those used in the glass synthesis. Nevertheless, it is shown that the energy transfer process has to be significant to influence the color coordinates and the calculation of the factors. ; publishersversion ; published
