The composition–structure–property relation in this type of glass system is thus of interest from fundamental and applied perspectives. In this work, Nd³⁺-containing glasses were made by melting with 50P₂O₅-(50 – <i>x</i>)BaO-<i>x</i>Nd₂O₃ (<i>x</i> = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 mol %) nominal compositions and studied comprehensively by density and related physical properties, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, O 1s X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dilatometry, ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis)–NIR optical absorption, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy with decay dynamics assessment. The densities and molar volumes of the Nd³⁺-containing glasses generally increased with Nd₂O₃ concentration also resulting in shorter Nd³⁺–Nd³⁺ distances. XRD supported the amorphous nature of the glasses, whereas the Raman spectra evolution was indicative of glass depolymerization being induced by Nd³⁺ ions. Oxygen (1s) and phosphorus (2p) analysis by XPS for the glass with 4.0 mol % Nd₂O₃ agreed with the increase in nonbridging oxygens relative to the undoped host. DSC results showed that the glass transition temperatures increased with Nd³⁺ concentration, with the glasses also displaying a decreased tendency toward crystallization. Dilatometry showed trends of increasing softening temperatures and decreasing thermal expansion coefficients with increasing Nd₂O₃ content. A glass strengthening/tightening effect was then indicated to be induced by Nd³⁺ with higher field strength compared to Ba²⁺ ions. The UV–vis–NIR absorption by Nd³⁺ ions increased consistently with Nd³⁺ concentration. The UV–vis absorption edges of the Nd-containing glasses were also analyzed via Tauc and Urbach plots for comparison with the undoped host. Concerning the PL behavior, the Nd³⁺ NIR emission intensity was highest for 1.0 mol % Nd₂O₃ and decreased thereafter. The decay kinetics of the ⁴F_3/2 emitting state in Nd³⁺ ions analyzed revealed decreasing lifetimes where the decay rate analysis pointed to the prevalence of ion–ion excitation migration leading to PL quenching at high Nd³⁺ concentrations.</p>","PeriodicalId":29797,"journal":{"name":"ACS Organic & Inorganic Au","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acsorginorgau.3c00071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140071412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
