Cover Story: Thermal evolutions of a CaO–WO3–B2O3 glass system were investigated for the development of luminescent glass ceramics by using Eu3+ dopant in the glass matrix. This study revealed that a single CaWO4 crystal phase in a borate glass matrix was possible via heat treatment at a temperature higher than glass transition temperature Tg for (100-x) (33CaO-67B2O3) – xCa3WO6 (x = 8 - 15mol%), which was found by XRD patterns and Raman peak of W=O double bondings of WO4 tetrahedra. Eu3+ ions were positioned in the glass phase as a stable site for them, which provided local environments in higher symmetry around Eu3+ ions. View this paper
