[摘要]:Molybdenum oxide (MoO3)-containing glasses of xMoO(3)-50ZnO-(50-x)B2O3 (x = 10, 20, and 30) are prepared using a conventional melt quenching method, and the glass structure and crystallization behaviour are clarified. It is found that the thermal stability against crystallization of the glasses decreases drastically with increasing MoO3 content. The main valence of Mo ions in the glasses is found to be Mo6+ from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. The Raman bands observed at similar to 860 cm(-1) and 950 cm(-1) suggest that the coordination state of Mo6+ ions in the glasses is mainly (MoO4)(2-) tetrahedral units. All glasses examined in this study give the formation of alpha-ZnMoO4 as the initial crystalline phase. In particular, 30MoO(3)-50ZnO-20B(2)O(3) glass shows the bulk crystallization of alpha-ZnMoO4 nanocrystals with a diameter of similar to 5 nm. The crystallized glasses consisting of Eu3+-doped ZnMoO4 crystals are synthesized, and enhanced photoluminescence emissions (i.e., the quantum yield is 9%) due to the 4f transitions D-5(0) -> F-7(J) (J = 0-4) of Eu3+ ions is observed.
