Abstract
Spectroscopic properties of Tb-doped and Tb-Ag codoped lithium tetraborate (LTB) glasses with Li2B4O7 (or Li2O-2B2O3) composition are investigated and analysed using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), optical absorption, photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra, PL decay kinetics and absolute quantum yield (QY) measurements. PL spectra of the investigated glasses show numerous narrow emission bands corresponding to the 5D4 → 7FJ (J = 6-0) and 5D3 → 7FJ (J = 5-3) transitions of Tb3+ (4f8) ions. The most intense PL band of Tb3+ ions at 541 nm (5D4 → 7F5 transition) is characterised by a lifetime slightly exceeding 2.6 ms. PL spectra of the Ag-containing glass show two broad weakly resolved emission bands in the violet-green spectral range attributed to Ag+ ions and nonplasmonic Ag nanoclusters. Decay kinetics of these bands are nonmonoexponential, characterised by an average lifetime in the microsecond range. A significant enhancement of the PL intensity and PL QY of Tb3+ ions was observed in Tb-Ag codoped LTB glass in comparison with Tb-doped LTB glass. The excitation energy transfer (EET) mechanisms from Ag+ ions and Ag nanoclusters to Tb3+ ions were explored.
