Description

A field-assisted solid-state ion exchange technique is used for the first time to dope surface layers of silicate glasses with erbium at the concentration of the order of a few 1020 Er cm-3. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy are used to characterize the samples treated after erbium oxide films were formed on soda-lime glass slides.
