Europium‐doping sodium–aluminosilicate glasses are prepared by melt‐quenching method, in which europium ions were spontaneously reduced from their trivalent to divalent state. The silver was introduced into glasses by Ag + – Na + ion exchange and the interactions between europium ions and silver species were investigated. Owing to energy transfer ( ET ) from Ag + /silver aggregates to Eu 3+ , significant enhancements of Eu 3+ emission were observed for 285/350‐nm excitation, respectively. The divalent europium ions promote the formation of silver aggregates in the process of ion exchange.
