Ce3+-doped glasses with composition of (65-x)SiO2 − 20Al2O3 –15BaF2 -xGd2O3 (x = 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25) were synthesized under CO atmosphere by melt-quenching method. The photoluminescence (PL) emission due to Ce3+: 5d1 → 4f transition was red-shifted with increasing Gd2O3 content. The acceleration o...
