Summary: Eu3+ doped and Er3+/Yb3+ codoped glass ceramics with NaLa(WO4)2 nanoparticles were prepared and their optical and temperature sensing properties were investigated. Eu3+ ions showed enhanced photoluminescence intensity due to selective entering into the precipitated NaLa(WO4)2 nanoparticles, while Er3+/Yb3+ ions showed improved visible upconversion emissions and near-infrared photoluminescence due to enrichment in low phonon-energy NaLa(WO4)2 nanoparticles. The temperature sensitivity of 0.014K-1 at 476K demonstrates the potential of Er3+/Yb3+ codoped NaLa(WO4)2:glass ceramics for optical temperature-sensing applications.

Summary: In this study, transparent glass-ceramic composites embedded with Ln-fluoride nanocrystals were prepared to enhance the upconversion luminescence of Tm3+. By inducing Yb3+, KYb3F10 and KYb2F7 nanocrystals were controllably precipitated in the glass ceramics, resulting in enhanced emission intensities due to the effective incorporation and substitution of Tm3+ into the crystal structures. This controllable nano-crystallization strategy opens up a new pathway for engineering a wide range of functional nanomaterials with Ln(3+) ions effectively incorporated into fluoride crystal structures.

Summary: Bioactive glass scaffolds are commonly used in bone tissue engineering applications, and sintering is often employed to enhance their mechanical strength. However, sintering can lead to crystallization, resulting in reduced bioactivity and biodegradability. This study compared the in-vitro bioactivity and biodegradability of sintered 58S bioactive glass made from fully amorphous powder and partially crystalline powder with the same chemical compositions. The results showed that the sintered 58S produced from glass ceramic powder exhibited higher in-vitro bioactivity and biodegradability rate than that from fully amorphous powder. The initial structure after calcination was found to be crucial in determining the subsequent crystallization during sintering, and the presence of crystallinity and hydroxyapatite formation after calcination played important roles in increasing the bioactivity and biodegradability rate of the sintered 58S.

Summary: Glass-ceramics have great potential in sustainable development, environmental protection, high temperature, and high voltage resistance. Alkali-free niobate-based glass-ceramics have emerged as prominent energy storage materials. This study optimized the thickness and crystallization temperature of alkali-free glass-ceramics to improve breakdown strength and achieve maximum dielectric constant. An ultra-high theoretical energy storage density of 27.47 J/cm^3 was obtained. Finite element software simulated the electric field distribution and electric potential evolution, demonstrating the role of glass phase in hindering electric branch development. The effective energy storage density obtained through P-E loops was 1.49 J/cm^3 under 850 kV/cm.

Summary: The all-inorganic CsPbBr3 nanocrystal (NC) has been extensively studied for its excellent optical properties, but its poor stability has hindered practical applications. A new method using LiBr-induced self-crystallization in borosilicate glass without heat treatment shows promising results with improved luminescent properties and stability. The self-crystallized CsPbBr3 NC glass has potential for applications in white light-emitting diodes (WLED) and opens new avenues for research in perovskite nanocrystals.

Summary: In the process of heat treatment, the authors discovered that the optical transparency of a specific oxyfluoride precursor glass-ceramic (P-GC) increases with an increase in crystal size and crystallinity. They also observed that the growth of existing crystals and the formation of small spherical crystals greatly enhanced light transmittance. Through detailed morphology and structure analysis and molecular dynamics simulations, the authors found that the composition of the residual glass phase changed, leading to a reduction in the differences in refractive index between the glass matrix and the crystals. Consequently, the light scattering of the heat-treated P-GC was suppressed, resulting in transparency. Furthermore, proper heat treatment also enhanced the luminescence of the studied P-GC system.

Summary: In this study, LiBr was utilized as a dual-defect passivation agent in colloidal CsPbX3 (X = Br and I) quantum dots, leading to a successful reduction of non-radiative recombination. The appropriate concentration of LiBr not only passivated halide vacancies and thermal defects to reduce non-radiative recombination, but also improved the phase stability caused by halide migration.

There is consistency among dielectric constants, activation energies, and free volume fractions for both thin film and bulk samples. Polyethylene oxide thin film is observed to be more brittle than bulk polyethylene oxide.

Summary: Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful tool for investigating the atomic-scale structures of complex materials, its reliable and accurate application to multi-component glass systems faces challenges due to limited force fields (FFs) and the complexity of chemical environments. This study demonstrates the feasibility of efficient and accurate large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations for multi-component glass systems. The evaluation of classical FFs based on the results of large-scale DFT calculations reveals low accuracy for non-bridging oxygen atoms, and differences in Si-O-Si angle distribution and electronic structure for X = Mg.

Summary: In this study, vanadium oxide xerogel samples were successfully synthesized through a liquid phase reaction and the interaction of films with water. The samples were thoroughly analyzed using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, revealing the existence of two distinct phases. It was also discovered that previous misinterpretations regarding the high-pressure polymorph structure were due to the formation of a high-temperature phase. These findings highlight the potential for further refining and expanding the current structural models of vanadium oxide xerogel in future research efforts.
