Luminescence and physical properties of Ce3+-doped potassium gadolinium phosphate glasses for radiation detector application

The use of biomaterials has revolutionized the biomedical field and has received substantial attention in the last two decades. Among the various types of biomaterials, phosphate glasses have generated great interest on account of their remarkable bioactivity and favourable physical properties for various biomedical applications relating to both hard and soft tissue regeneration. This review paper focuses mainly on the development of titanium-containing phosphate-based glasses and presents an overview of the structural and physical properties. The effect of titanium incorporation on the glassy network is to introduce favourable properties. The biocompatibility of these glasses is described along with recent developments in processing methodologies, and the potential of Ti-containing phosphate-based glasses as a bone substitute material is explored.

Gallium Telluride

The physical vapour deposition (PVD) method has been employed to yield gallium telluride (GaTe) platelets. The morphology and growth mechanism of these platelets were investigated with the aid of scanning electron micrographs. The stoichiometry and homogeneity of the grown samples were confirmed by chemical analysis. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique has been used to explore the structure and phase of the compound. On the basis of the Archimedes principle, the density of crystals was estimated to be 5.442 kg mm−3. The resistivity and conductivity type were determined by the van der Pauw method. UV–vis–NIR studies revealed a direct transition with an energy gap of 1.69 eV. Mechanical properties such as microhardness, toughness, Young's modulus and elastic stiffness constant of GaTe crystals in response to the stress field due to an external load were studied to realize their suitability for radiation detector applications. The present observations provide an insight into the physical properties of the vapour-grown GaTe platelets, which are found to be superior over their melt counterparts.

Cadmium Phosphate

A series of sodium cadmium phosphate glasses was prepared in a platinum crucible by melt quench technique. These glasses contain a mole% composition of x% Na 2 O -(50-x)% CdO -50% P 2 O 5, where the quantity x lies in 0–40 mole%. In this work the physical properties of these glasses were studied, which are reported as mass density ρ, oxygen packing density, molar volume, sodium ion concentration, modulus of rigidity η, coefficient of linear expansion α, transition temperature Tg, and softening temperature Ts. The mass density, oxygen packing density, modulus rigidity, transition temperature and softening temperature show decreasing trend with increasing concentration of sodium ions in these glasses, whereas molar volume and coefficient of linear expansion indicate an increase with increasing concentration of sodium oxide.
