Abstract
This study investigates the luminescence and physical properties of tellurite-based glass co-doped with europium (Eu3+) and terbium (Tb3+) ions. The glass composition, 30TeO2 : 20B2O3 : (20 - x)SiO2 : 10Na2O : 15BaO : 5Tb2O3 : xEu2O3, was synthesized via a melting process at 1100 °C followed by annealing at 500 °C for 3 hours. The optical characterization included absorption spectra, photoluminescence under 378 nm excitation, where a quenching effect was observed at 5.0 mol% Eu2O3, significantly influencing the emission intensity and suggesting an optimal doping concentration for enhanced performance, and Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE) 1931 colorimetric analysis. Lifetime measurements were conducted to explore decay kinetics, while an energy transfer efficiency model highlighted the interaction dynamics between Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions. The Energy transfer efficiency showcases promising results for applications in photonics. This work provides insights into the synergistic effects of rare-earth co-doping on the luminescence behavior of tellurite-based glasses.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
