This work focuses on the spectroscopic study of RE3+ ion, namely, trivalent neodymium (Nd3+) doped lead borotellurite glass with a composition of TeO2-B2O3-PbO. The glass sample has been prepared by conventional melt-quenching technique. The density, molar volume and optical energy band gap of these glasses have been measured. The refractive index, molar refraction and polarizability of oxide ion have been calculated by using Lorentz-Lorentz relations. The absorption spectra are recorded using UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer in the range of 200-900 nm.

Praseodymium doped silver–borate glasses having composition xPr6O11–(25 – x)Ag2O–75B2O3 (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) were prepared by conventional melt quenching method. The density, molar volume, and optical energy band gap of these glasses were measured. Optical absorption spectra of these glasses were recorded in the range 300–1000 nm at room temperature. The refractive index, molar refraction, and polarizability of oxide ion were calculated by using Lorentz–Lorentz relations. The oxide ion polarizabilities deduced from two different quantities, viz. refractive index and optical energy band gap, agree well compared with other glasses. The variation of the preceding optical parameters with respect to praseodymium concentration is explained.

The relaxation and phase transition behaviors of rare-earth ion substituted fast oxide-ion conductors (La1-xRex)2Mo2O9 (Re=Nd, Gd) were investigated by internal friction (IF) measurement in the temperature range 300 K - 950 K. Three different IF peaks (labeled as PL, PH, and PG, respectively) were observed in the rare-earth ion doped La2Mo2O9 samples. Peak PL corresponds to short diffusion processes of oxygen ions among different oxygen vacancy sites. Peak PH is associated with the static/dynamic disorder transition in oxygen ion distribution. Peak PG is a newly discovered peak embodying phase transition-like characteristics and is suggested to be related to order-disorder transition associated with the rearrangement of La/ Re sub-lattice.


The theory that has been developed for rare-earth ions in crystals is here applied to the double nitrates. The paramagnetic resonance data and certain spectroscopic properties of the different rare-earth double nitrates, depending as they do on the crystalline electric field at a rare-earth ion, are related to the six parameters through which the field is defined. It is found that most of the experimental results can be fitted to values of the parameters that vary in a systematic fashion along the rare-earth series.

We present a non-destructive technique for a combined evaluation of refractive index and active-dopant distribution in the same position along a rare-earth-doped optical fiber preform. The method relies on luminescence measurements, analyzed through an optical tomography technique, to define the active dopant distribution and ray-deflection measurements to calculate the refractive index profile. The concurrent evaluation of both the preform refractive index and the active dopant profiles allows for an accurate establishment of the dopant distribution within the optical core region. This combined information is important for the optimization and development of a range of advanced fibers, used, for example, in a high-power fiber lasers and modern spatial-division-multiplexing optical communication systems. In addition, the non-destructive nature allows the technique to be used to identify the most appropriate preform segment, thus increasing fiber yield and reducing development cycles. We demonstrate the technique on an Yb3+-doped aluminosilicate fiber preform and compare it with independent refractive index and active-dopant measurements. This technique will be useful for quality evaluation and optimization of optical fiber preforms and lends itself to advanced instrumentation.

Research and development of nanoscale luminescent and laser materials are part of the rapidly advancing nanoscience and nanotechnology. Because of unique spectroscopic properties and luminescent dynamics of f-electron states, doping luminescent rare earth ions into nano-hosts has been demonstrated as an optimistic approach to developing highly efficient and stable nanophosphors for various applications. In this article, we review the most recent progress in spectroscopic measurements of rare earth ion-activated low-dimensional nanostructures including nanolayers, core–shells, nanowires, nanotubes, and nanodisks. Among a large volume of work reported in the literature on many members of the rare earth series including Ce3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Eu3+, and Er3+, we focus on recent findings in the spectroscopic and luminescence properties of Eu3+ doped nanolayers, core–shells, and nanotubes, because Eu3+ ions have been extensively studied and widely used as an ideal probe for fundamental understanding of nano-phenomena. Specifically, the dependence of the optical properties of rare earth ions on nanostructures is discussed in detail.

A series of tellurite glass containing samarium ion and silver nanoparticles with a composition of (89.6-x)TeO2-10MgO-(x)Sm2O3-0.4AgCl with 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 1.0mol% have been synthesized by a conventional melt quenching technique. The X-ray diffraction pattern verified the amorphous nature of glasses. A systematic study on the relationship between Sm2O3 concentration and the physical properties of the glass has been made. The effect on the progressive replacement of TeO2 by Sm2O3 on density, molar volume, refractive index and electronic polarisability has been investigated. The results show that density and ionic packing density are in the range of 4.91-5.04 g cm-3 and 0.444 – 0.455, respectively, increases as the amount of Sm2O3 is increased up to 0.8 mol% and decrease afterward. However, the molar volume which is in between, 29.59-30.26 m3 mol-1 decreasing as the amount of Sm2O3 is increased up to 0.8 mol% and increase thereafter. Meanwhile the refractive index which is deduced from optical energy band gap is found to possess a value in the range of 2.37 to 2.45 and electronic polarisability is in the range of 7.14-7.51Å3. All the results will be discussed with respect to the glass composition.

The results show that, the densities and refractive index increase with increasing Ho2O3 content in the glasses. The absorption peaks of doped glasses were observed at a wavelength of around 420, 460, 480, 540, 640 and 900 nm which are assigned to 5I8 ® 5G5, 5G6, 5F3, (5F4+5S2), 5F5 and 5I5 transitions of Ho3+, respectively.

Abstract A borate glasses doped with rare earth Gd3+ ion in the system [6OB2O3 + 30 L12O + x Gd2O3 + (10-x) BiCl3] is prepared by the conventional melt quenching method and their optical properties have been studied. The oxide ion polarizability parameter is calculating by using refractive index of glass materials, which is obtained from UV-Vis spectra. The borate glasses are known to possess high oxide ion polarizability, high refractive index, high basicity and low interaction parameter values. In this present study, theoretical calculation of basicity and interaction parameter, using oxide ion polarization, of the glass network has been addressed. A good linear correlation between the interaction parameter and basicity is observed.
