Tb³⁺ doped oxyfluoride glasses exhibit a large absorption cross section for ultraviolet (UV) excitation, high stability, high photoluminescence quantum efficiency, and sensitive spectral conversion characteristics, making them promising candidate materials for use as the spectral converter in UV photodetectors. Herein, a Tb³⁺ doped oxyfluoride GC is developed by using the melt-quenching method, and the microstructure and optical properties of the GC sample are carefully investigated. By combining with a Si-based photo-resistor,a solar-blind UV detector is fabricated, which exhibits a significant photoelectric response with a broad detection range from 188 to 400 nm. The results indicate that the designed UV photodetector is of great significance for the development of solar-blind UV detectors.Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)Enabling Broadband Solar-Blind UV Photodetection by a Rare-Earth Doped Oxyfluoride Transparent Glass-Ceramic.PMC1096656921A140018621350062021A151501193823110022010023110022110020221048200120241048200820231048201324IRTSTHN0262020GGJS197231111222200232300421020Liu XQiu JFang ZZhang XChang FGuan BOJia HZhang RZhou HNiu XfalseEnabling Broadband Solar-Blind UV Photodetection by a Rare-Earth Doped Oxyfluoride Transparent Glass-Ceramic.Oxyfluoride transparent glass-ceramics (GC) are widely used as the matrix for rare-earth (RE) ions due to their unique properties such as low phonon energy, high transmittance, and high solubility for RE ions.
