Abstract
Phosphate glasses with composition 60P2O5 – 15ZnO - 5Al2O3 – 10BaO - 10PbO (mol%) (PZABP) and triple-doped with 1.2 Yb2O3, 0.2 Er2O3 and X Eu2O3 X = 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.5 (wt%) were synthesized by the fusion method and their structural, optical and spectroscopic properties are reported. Experimental research was achieved to obtain information about the physical and chemical properties. The experiments indicate that the rare earth (RE3+) ions are incorporated in the structure of the glass, obtaining transparent, dense glasses, without cracks and with a homogeneous composition. The XRD reveals the amorphous nature of the glass samples. The ATR-FTIR and Raman scattering spectra were performed to study the structure of the glass and the bonds present in the PZABP matrices with RE3+ ions. The absorption and optical transmission spectra showed narrow bands attributed to Eu3+, resulting from the 5D0→7FJ transitions (J = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) for the systems studied. The direct and indirect band intervals obtained by the Tauc method were determined. Urbach Energy, Optical Basicity, Optical Electronegativity and Refractive Index of the glasses were also calculated. The Judd-Ofelt model calculus was performed to analyze the spectroscopic parameters of Eu3+ ions, such as radiative lifetime, quantum efficiency, and local environment of the Eu3+ ion. The excitation and emission photoluminescence spectra were obtained to evaluate the influence of Eu3+ doping concentration on luminescence performance in the glass matrices. The covalence and ionic bonding have presented an interesting effect as a function of Eu2O3, based on the calculus performed by the Duffy equation. The mean lifetime values of the excited state ranged from 2.31 to 2.14 ms. Based on the results, these glasses may be potential candidates for the construction of different devices in the photonics area such as energy converters in the UV range and/or filters for UV wavelength.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
