Scientists have developed a method to alter the color and brightness of rare earth element luminescence by changing their ...

They created a chemical environment in which a cerium ion began to emit a yellow glow. The findings could contribute to the development of new light sources, displays, and lasers. The study has ...

Also, with high concentrations of cerium, silicate glass begins to turn yellow -- an undesirable characteristic for such things as windows or sunglasses. Phosphate glasses have a more flexible ...

Cerium compounds are used in the manufacture of glass, as a component and a decolouriser. • Cerium oxide is used as a glass-polishing agent. • Cerium in conjunction with other rare earth metals is ...

A major stumbling block in our understanding of glass and glass phenomena is the ... high-pressure synchrotron wide-angle XPCS to probe a cerium-based MG material during compression.

Their luminescence is generally predictable—for example, cerium typically emits light in the ultraviolet range. Rare earth elements are used in microelectronics, LEDs, and fluorescent materials ...
