"Nanoglass", what exactly this term is referring to?

01 January 2014 1 8K Report

The new concept of plasmonics has emerged also in the field of glasses, glass-ceramics and crystals by doping those materials with metallic and semiconducting nanoparticles. For example, the work published by Reza Dousti et al., as attached, demonstrated the effect of silver nanoparticles on the optical and thermal properties of the erbium-doped zinc tellurite glasses. The glass is synthesized in the experimentally common dimensions, not in the nano-size or nano-layers. So, I would like to know that is the "nanoglass" a suitable novel name for those nanostructured materials or not?

Is the excitation spectra corrected by the lamp intensity in a Horiba Flourolog ou Nanolog spectrometer?

I used to correct the excitation spectra by dividing the raw spectra (usually called S1, or S2, or S1c, or S2c) to the spectra of lamp profile (usually shown by R). This way the excitation spectra...
