Transparent oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing BaxLu1 − xF2 + x nanocrystals were fabricated.
Phase transition from BaF2 to BaxLu1 − xF2 + x was realized by the gradual substitution of LuF3 for BaF2.
The distribution of Eu3 + ions in the glass ceramics changed greatly due to the phase transition.
