Properties of CoO doped in Glasses Prepared from Rice Hush Fly Ash in Thailand

In this work, properties of glass from local rice husk ash (RHA) in Thailand have been investigated. RHA was sintered in different temperature. Compositions and phases of RHA were analyzed by energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDXRF) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The glasses were melt from RHA in formula 20 Na2O : 1.0 Al2O3 : 13 B2O3 : 6.3 CaO : 0.2 Sb2O3 : 4.5 BaO : 55SiO2 (using RHA as a SiO2 source) The density values of all RHA glasses are comparable and larger than glass from pure SiO2 under same glass formula and preparing condition. These results are corresponding with refractive index values. The RHA glasses showing colorless with absorption edge in ultraviolet region were obtained. The dark blue color glasses were melted from RHA with different CoO concentration. From this part, not found to be the relation of density and refractive index of glass with CoO concentration in glass matrix. From absorption spectra, the absorption peak were appeared around 600 nm, and peak intensity are increased, with increase CoO, correspond to 4A2(4F) → 4T1(4P) state of Co2+ in tetrahedral symmetry.

Optical Properties and White Emission from Dy3+ Doped in Y2O3-CaO-SiO2-B2O3 Glasses

The Dy3+ doped Y2O3-CaO-SiO2-B2O3 glasses with molar composition 25Y2O3 : 10CaO : 10SiO2 : (55-x)B2O3, where x is 0.0 to 0.5 mol%, have been prepared by melt quenching method and are characterized through absorption, photoluminescence and decay analysis. From the luminescent spectra, observed a strong yellow and blue emission from 4F9/2→ 6H13/2 (575 nm) and 4F9/2 → 6H15/2 (482 nm) transition of Dy3+ ions respectively. The tunable white light emission at different excitation wavelengths are investigated through CIE 1931 diagram. The decay curves show the decreasing of lifetimes when addition of Dy2O3 concentration.

Effects of Ni2+ Ions on Soda Lime Silicate Glasses

In this work, effects of Ni2+ ions on soda lime silicate glasses have been investigated. Glasses were prepared in formula (65-x)SiO2 : 25Na2O : 10CaO: xNiO (where x is 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.10 mol%). The densities of glasses not depend on Ni2+ concentration. The refractive indices decreased with increasing of NiO concentration. The optical absorption spectra were measured by uv-visible spectrophotometer and show peaks correspond with Ni2+ in glass matrices. Both of octahedral transitions and tetrahedral transition from Ni2+ ion were found around 450 and 625 nm respectively. The color of glasses were also measured in CIE L* a* b* system.

Effect of Addition TiO2 on Bi2O3-TiO2-B2O3 Glasses

Bismuth titanium borate glasses in compositions xTiO2 : (30-x)Bi2O3 : 70B2O3 (with x is in mol%, varying from 0% to 10%) were fabricated by the conventional melt quenching technique. The effect of TiO2 on the physical and spectroscopic properties of bismuth borate glasses have been carried out by means of density and UV-Visible spectroscopy measurement techniques. The density and molar volume of all glasses are found to change depend on TiO2 substitution. The fundamental absorption edges for all glasses have been identified using the theory proposed by Davis and Mott. The optical band gap (Eg) is found to decrease with increase in TiO2 content.

Study on Physical and Photoluminescence Properties of Er3+Doped Zinc Barium Tellurite Glasses

Er3+-doped ZnO – BaO – TeO2 glasses with the formula (80-x)TeO2–15ZnO–5BaO–xEr2O3 were fabricated using melt quenching technique. The 5 glass samples with different concentrations of Er2O3 were prepared under atmospheric pressure. The samples were investigated on their properties: density, molar volume, absorption spectra and photoluminescence. Density was increased with an increase in Er3+ content. The molar volume trend is in the opposite way to that of the density. The absorption bands are assigned as absorptions from the 4I15/2 ground state to the 4F7/2, 2H11/2, 4S3/2, 4F9/2, 4I9/2, 4I11/2 and 4I13/2 levels. All absorption bands are increase with increasing content of Er3+. The photoluminescence spectra were measured with 980 nm light pumped by flash lamp. The spectra trends to increase with increasing concentration of the dopant.

Structural and Optical Properties of Nd3+ Doped Na2O-PbO-ZnO-Li2O-B2O3 Glasses System

The present paper reports the structural (XRD and FTIR spectra), physical (like density, molar volume, refractive index etc.), optical absorption and emission properties of Nd3+ doped sodium lead zinc lithium borate glass. The glasses with chemical formula (65-x)B2O3-15Na2O-10PbO-5ZnO-5Li2O-xNd2O3 (where x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0) have been prepared using the melt-quenching method. XRD characterization shows that the glasses are amorphous nature. The values of measured absorption transitions obtained ten transitions and the hypersensitive transition at 4I9/2 → 2G7/2+4G5/2. To excite photon from ground state to upper state, used two different wavelength spectra at 582 and 804 nm. The maximum emission intensity of the 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 transition obtained when Nd3+ ion content in the borate glass is 1.0 mol %. It is indicating that Nd3+ doped borate glass have self-quenching or concentration quenching.
