Development of materials for a luminescent solar collector. Annual progress report, Septemer 1, 1979-December 31, 1980

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5599034
Progress is reported in research of inorganic fluorescent materials for application as flat panel luminescent solar collectors. Efforts were concentrated on luminescent metal ions doped into glasses. The spectroscopic and photophysical properties of Cr/sup 3 +/ in glasses were examined. Sensitization of Nd/sup 3 +/ by codoping with Cr/sup 3 +/ is discussed. The Cr/sup 3 +/ to Nd/sup 3 +/ energy transfer was characterized in lithium lime silicate and aluminum phosphate glasses as a function of active ion densities. (LEW)
