    Abstract

    The distribution of Tm 3+ and Ni 2+ ions is unambiguously exhibited in 80GeS 2 -20Ga 2 S 3 chalcogenide glass ceramics (GCs) containing Ga 2 S 3 nanocrystals (NCs) by using advanced analytical transmission electron microscopy. Distinctively different distribution patterns of Tm 3+ and Ni 2+ ions are observed in the GCs obtained by controlled crystallization. The distribution of the dopants imposes strong influence on their optical properties which are revealed by absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Detailed discussions are given of the mechanisms of the crystallization-induced PL enhancement and quenching of the Tm 3+ mid-infrared and Ni 2+ near-infrared emissions, respectively.
