Popis: KLu 2 F 7 : Tb 3+ oxyfluoride glass ceramics (GC) were successfully manufactured via traditional melt-quenching route with further heat-treatment. Their micro-structural and optical properties were systemically investigated by XRD, TEM, HRTEM techniques, transmittance spectra, excitation spectra, emission spectra, luminescence lifetime measurements and X-ray excited luminescence (XEL). Both photoluminescence and XEL of KLu 2 F 7 GC doped with Tb 3+ are highly enhanced after further heat-treatment resulting from the partition of Tb 3+ ions into the KLu 2 F 7 crystalline lattice with low phonon energy. Our investigation suggests that such Tb 3+ -doped transparent KLu 2 F 7 glass ceramics may present potential application in X-ray scintillator for slow event detection.
