The ErF3-doped oxyfluoride phospho-tellurite glasses in the (40-x) TeO2-10P2O5-45 (BaF2-ZnF2) -5Na2O-xErF3 system (where x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, and 1.25 mol%) have been prepared by the conventional melt-quenching method. The effect of erbium trifluoride addition on thermal, structure, and spectroscopic properties of oxyfluoride phospho-tellurite precursor glass was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and Raman spectroscopy as well as emission measurements, respectively. The DSC curves were used to investigate characteristic temperatures and thermal stability of the precursor glass doped with varying content of ErF3. FTIR and Raman spectra were introduced to characterize the evolution of structure and phonon energy of the glasses. It was found that the addition of ErF3 up to 1.25 mol% into the chemical composition of phospho-tellurite precursor glass enhanced 2.7 µm emission and upconversion. By controlled heat-treatment process of the host glass doped with the highest content of erbium trifluoride (1.25 mol%), transparent erbium-doped phospho-tellurite glass-ceramic (GC) was obtained. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the presence of BaF2 nanocrystals with the average 16 nm diameter in a glass matrix. Moreover, MIR, NIR, and UC emissions of the glass-ceramic were discussed in detail and compared to the spectroscopic properties of the glass doped with 1.25 mol% of ErF3 (the base glass).

In this study, the authors attempted to propose the very first study on fabrication and characterization of zinc-boro-silicate (ZBS) glass-ceramics derived from the ternary zinc-boro-silicate (ZnO)0.65(B2O3)0.15(RHA)0.2 glass system through a conventional melt-quenching method by incorporating rice husk ash (RHA) as the silica (SiO2) source, followed by a sintering process. Optimization of sintering condition has densified the sintered samples while embedded beta willemite (β-Zn2SiO4) and alpha willemite (α-Zn2SiO4) were proven in X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) has shown the distribution of willemite crystals in rhombohedral shape crystals and successfully form closely-packed grains due to intense crystallization. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of all sintered ZBS glasses presented various emission peaks at 425, 463, 487, 531, and 643 nm corresponded to violet, blue, green, and red emission, respectively. The correlation between the densification, phase transformation, microstructure, and photoluminescence of Zn2SiO4 glass-ceramic phosphor is discussed in detail.

Erbium ions (Er3+) doped zinc phosphate glass system with varying contents of natural ferrite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were prepared using melt quenching method. The glass is characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-VIS NIR spectrometer. It is observed that the amorphous nature of the glass is confirmed by x-ray diffraction. The absorption spectra of the glass are recorded in the UV-Visible in the range of 400-1600 nm. The UV-VIS NIR spectra reveal ten absorption peaks centered at 376, 406, 420, 486, 522, 546, 652, 798, 976 and 1534 nm, correspond to the transitions from the ground state 4I15/2 to higher 4I13/2, 4I11/2, 4I9/2, 4F9/2, 4S3/2, 2H11/2, 4F7/2, 4F3/2, 2H9/2, 4G11/2 levels, respectively. Effects of natural ferrite oxide nanoparticles on the absorption and emission properties of the synthesized glasses were analyzed via Judd-Ofelt (J-O) theory. The J-O intensity-parameters (W2, W4, W6) analysis demonstrate a significant increase of spectroscopic quality factors.Keywords: Fe3O4 NPs, Absorption, Judd-Ofelt.

Natural ferrite oxide nanoparticles (NPs) embed with tellurite glasses ((89-x) TeO2-10ZnO-1Er2O3-(x)Fe3O4, (x = 0 – 0.8 mol %)) were prepared by conventional melt quenching method to study the influence of the Fe3O4 NPs concentration on the stuctural properties of the glass. Studies on these glassy materials characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and RAMAN spectroscopic measurements are presented. It is observed that the amorphous nature of the glass is confirmed by x-ray diffraction. The FTIR studies support the formation of Te-O-Fe linkages. The FTIR spectra reveal modification in network structures evidenced from vibrational wave-number shifts of TeO4 and TeO3 structural units. Raman spectroscopy have been manipulated to observe the structural modification of [TeO4] trigonal bipyramidal structural unit.

Optical Behavior

Improving the optical behavior of tellurite glass with controlled rare earth doping is an important issue from device perspectives. The Er3+ -doped tellurite glasses having composition (75-x)TeO2-20ZnO-5Na2O-xEr2O3 where (0 x 0.7) mol% are prepared by melt quenching technique and their structural and optical properties are investigated. Amorphous nature of the samples is confirmed through X-ray diffraction technique. The optical absorption recorded at room temperature in the wavelength range from 400 to 1000 nm exhibits five broad bands. The value of the optical band gap and the Urbach energy (ΔE) are calculated from the absorption edge data. The value of optical band gap lies between 2.18 eV and 2.89 eV for the indirect transition whereas the value of Urbach energy varies from 0.15 to 0.53 eV. The optical band gap and Urbach energy values are found to dependent strongly on the erbium concentration.

Understanding the mechanism of visible luminescence enhancement from rare earth doped glasses containing metallic nanoparticles (NPs) is the challenging issue. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Er3+: Au-doped tellurite glass is investigated for different concentration of gold NPs. A series of glasses with composition (70-x) TeO2-30 ZnO-0.5 Er2O3x Au where x = (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 mol%) are prepared by melt-quenching method. The thermal parameters such as the glass transition (Tg), crystallization temperature (Tc) and melting temperature (Tm) are determined using DTA thermogram. PL spectra exhibit two distinct peaks at 493nm and 550nm which are assigned to the2H11/2-4I15/2and4S3/2-4I15/2transition respectively. The influence of gold NPs in enhancing the luminescence intensity under the 360nm excitation wavelength is observed understood.

Transparent glass ceramics containing Na3.6Y1.8(PO4)3 crystals were successfully synthesized using high temperature melting quenching and subsequent heat treatment of the precursor glass with a composition 15Na2CO3-3Y2O3-45SiO2-31H3BO3- 5.4P2O5-0.6Sb2O3 (mol%). The impact of heat treatment is investigated in detail. The glass sample was tested by differential scanning calorimetry analysis to determine the heat treatment system. The ideal heat-treated condition is at 650°C for 2 h. The structure and morphology properties were systematically analyzed by recording X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron microscopy images, which indicate that Na3.6Y1.8(PO4)3 crystal were precipitated homogeneously among the glass matrix. The microstructural of precursor glass and glass ceramic were compared by analyzing FTIR spectra, indicating the formation of phosphate groups in glass ceramic. The refractive index of glass ceramics samples were measured. In the visible region, the transmittance of glass ceramics is up to 85%. Moreover, the relationship between the refractive index of the sample and the transmittance is discussed.

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.
