The glass system (50–x)B2O3–30Bi2O3–20TeO2–xEu2O3 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mol%) having been prepared using the conventional melt quenching method, is investigated in terms of physical, optical, and luminescence properties. The density of these glasses is measured and the corresponding molar volume is also calculated. The (αhν)1/n versus hν graph was plotted and it is well fitted to both direct (n = 1/2) and indirect (n = 2) band gaps. The direct and indirect band gap values range from 2.57 to 2.94 eV and 1.74 to 2.58 eV, respectively. The Urbach energy of the glass system was calculated to have values ranging from 0.29 to 0.62 eV. Yellow, orange, and red emissions have been observed through photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy excited at 464 nm and the obtained multicolor emissions have been demonstrated according to the Commission International de l’Eclairage de France 1931 standards. The results of PL studies indicated the possibility towards the development of multicolor phosphor applications.

The glasses with the composition of xEr 2 O 3 -5AgCl- 15MoO 3 -(80-x) TeO 2 (x = 0, 0.5 and 1 mol%, named as SMT0, SMT1 and SMT2, respectively) were synthesized using conventional melt quenching method and their optical properties were investigated through UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Density and molar volume values of the glass samples were estimated, their values were found in the range from 5.52 to 5.64 g/cm 3 and 27.737 to 28.689 cm 3 , respectively. The UV absorption spectra were recorded at room temperature in the wavelength range 200-1100nm. From the absorption edge data, it is found that both the direct and indirect type transitions may takeplace. The direct and indirect band gap values are ranging from 1.92 to 2.29 eV and 1.24 to 1.77 eV, respectively. Also, the Urbach energy (E tail ) values were determined and their values are ranging from 0.33 to 0.54 eV. These obtained E tail values are well matched with amorphous semiconductors (0.046 to 0.66 eV).

Borophosphate glasses have been synthesized with a Bi2O3concentration of 15.0 to 25.0 mol%, added 2.5 mol% for each concentration, by the normal melt quenching technique at 1200 °C. The physical and optical properties of bismuth borophosphate glass systems have been studied. The glasses are characterized for their physical and optical properties. The density and molar volume of these glasses were found in the range 3.4391 to 3.9338 g/cm3and 52.2515 to 55.7557 cm3/mol, respectively. It was observed that the density and molar volume of these glasses was increased with increasing the concentration of Bi2O3. The absorption spectra of these glasses were recorded in the UV-Visible range. It has been found that, the absorption spectra were shifted to longer wavelength with higher Bi2O3concentration. In addition, the oxygen packing density of glass samples have been also investigated.

In this work, effect of Li2O and Na2O on bismuth borate glasses have been investigated. The glass samples were prepared in composition 44B2O3 : 50Bi2O3 : 5Li2O : 1A2O3 and 44B2O3 : 50Bi2O3 : 5Na2O3 : 1A2O3 (where A2O3= Sm2O3 and Dy2O3).Glasses were prepared using the melt-quenching technique at 1,100 oc under normal atmosphere. The result found that, the density and molar volume of lithium bismuth borate glasses are less than sodium bismuth borate glasses both in Sm2O3 and Dy2O3. In addition, the optical absorption spectra and luminescence of lithium bismuth borate glasses are higher than sodium bismuth borate glasses both in Sm2O3 and Dy2O3.

Modifying the optical properties of rare earth doped phosphate glasses in a tunable fashion via the embedment of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) is challenging for magneto-optic devices. Glasses with compositions (69-x)P2O5-30ZnO-1Er2O3-(x)Fe3O4, where x = 0 to 1.5 mol% are prepared by conventional melt quenching method. The Fe3O4NPs concentration dependent density, molar volume, refractive index and optical properties are determined. Density and molar volume shows strong correlation with structural alteration in the presence of NPs. The XRD spectra confirm the disordered nature of the glass and TEM micrograph display the presence of spherical NPs with average size ~26 nm. The optical band gap and Urbach energy calculated from the room temperature absorption spectra recorded in the range of 350-1700 nm reveal significant improvement. The density and refractive index increases and the molar volume decreases with the increase of Fe3O4contents. The energy band gap for direct and indirect transitions varies in the range of 4.47-3.64 eV and 4.27-3.53 eV, respectively. The Urbach energy increases from 0.15 to 0.19 eV as the NPs concentration increases from 0 to 1.5 mol%.

A series of zinc oxychloride tellurite glass based on (79 – z) TeO2- 10ZnO - (z) ZnCl2- 10Li2O - 1Eu2O3(where z = 0, 10, 20, 25 and 30 mol %) are successfully prepared by the melt quenching method. The optical properties are characterized by means of Raman spectra, UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy. It is found that the Raman spectrum of the glass shows three main peaks in the vibrational band in the vicinity of 430, 670 and 770 cm-1. The intensity of all bands is decreased as the ZnCl2contents are increased from 0 to 30 mol % but the intensity ratio (I770/ I670) increased. This may arise from the change in the structural chains from TeO4to TeO3+1or to a TeO3polyhedron shape. Using the UV-Vis absorption spectrum, the Judd-Ofelt (J-O) analysis is performed to determine the J-O parameters (Ω2, Ω4, Ω6) and it is found that Ω2> Ω4> Ω6. The values of Ω2, Ω4, Ω6, the quality factor (Q) and the radiative lifetime (τrad) are found to increase with ZnCl2content up to 20 mol %. From photoluminescence spectrum, it is found that the value of the intensity ratio between5D0→7F2and5D0→7F1transition increase with ZnCl2contents which illustrates that this glass can easily become laser material.

Tellurite glasses of varying Er3+/Nd3+ concentration were successfully prepared by melt-quenching method. The X-Ray diffraction pattern was determined by using Siemens Diffractometer D5000 while the optical properties were measured using Shimadzu 3101 pc UV-VIS NIR scanning spectrophotometer. It was found that the diffraction patterns of all samples showed glasses characteristics. The optical band gap, Eopt¬ increased proportionally with the content of Er¬2O3 but Urbach energy, ∆E decreased due to the increasing Er2O3 contents.
