The effect of added Al2O3, introduced by the substitution method, on the crystallization and spectral-luminescent properties of gallium germanosilicate glasses with γ-Ga2O3:Ni2+ nanocrystals was investigated. It was found that the Ni2+-luminescence efficiency increased on account of both an increase in the degree of crystallinity of glass with Al2O3 and an increase in the strength of the crystal field around the Ni2+ ions on account of Al3+ incorporation into the structure of the precipitated nanocrystals.
