Abstract
Persistent luminescence (PeL) was obtained, from the first time to the best of our knowledge, from borosilicate bulk glasses. The glasses were prepared using direct doping method. Commercial PeL SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ microparticles (MPs) were added in the borosilicate glass after melting. The persistent luminescence can be augmented when casting the glass 3 min after adding the MPs at 950 degrees C. Although the borosilicate glasses exhibit persistent luminescence, the glass melt has a corrosive behavior on the MPs leading to the diffusion of Al and Sr into the glasses.
