Ternary tellurite based glasses [(TeO2)0.7 (B2O3)0.3]1-x (Bi2O3)x was prepared by melt quenching method with suitable melting and quenching temperature. A series of glasses were selected from 0.05 to 0.30 mol % and its glass-forming region was determined. The density, molar volume and refractive index increase when bismuth ions Bi3+ increase, this is due to the increased polarization of the ions Bi3+ and the enhanced formation of non-bridging oxygen (NBO). The values of optical band gap, Eopt decreases when Bi2O3 content increases. Urbach energy for each composition was also calculated and was found to be dependent on the glass composition.

A series of glasses with nominal composition in (53-x)B2O3:11SiO2:34SrO:1Bi2O3:1TiO2: xHo2O3 (BSSBT) where x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol% was synthesized by conventional melt quenching method. The as-prepared glasses have been investigated and reported for their physical and optical properties. 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.

Silica borotellurite glasses doped with manganese oxide with chemical formula {[(TeO2)0.7(B2O3)0.3­]0.8[SiO2]0.2}1-x{MnO2}x (where x = 0.0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 molar fraction) were fabricated. Silica were extracted from the burning process of rice husk. Glass samples were prepared by using the melt-quenching technique. The FTIR spectra showed that the addition of MnO₂ contributed to the transformation of TeO4 to TeO3. The diffraction pattern of XRD showed a broad hump which indicates the amorphous nature of the samples. The result for both optical band gap and Urbach energy showed decreasing trend as the concentration of manganese increased.

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%.

From the absorption edge studies, the values of the optical band gap (E<sub>opt</sub>) and Urbach energy (ΔE) have been evaluated. The values of E<sub>opt</sub> and ΔE vary non-linearly with composition parameter, showing the mixed alkali effect.</p>

The structural of the glass were characterized by using XRD, TEM and FTIR, meanwhile the optical properties were characterized by UV &ndash; VIS absorption. The XRD patterns confirmed the amorphous nature of the prepared glass samples. FTIR confirmed the presence of VO4, VO5, BO3, and BO4 vibration, and this result showed NBO increased with increasing vanadium concentration. The UV &ndash; Vis &ndash; NIR spectra exhibits six absorption band centered at 490, 520, 540, 660, 800, and 980 nm. The optical band gap (Eopt), Urbach energy and refractive index shown decrease, increase and increase, respectively. The Judd &ndash; Ofelt intensity parameter reveal the trends was Ω2 &amp;gt; Ω4 &amp;gt; Ω6. There are three emission bands at 516 nm, 580 nm, and 673 nm which are represented by 2H11/2 &ndash; 4I15/2, 4S3/2 &ndash; 4I15/2, and 4F15/2 &ndash; 4I15/2, respectively under 800 nm excitation was obtained.

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.

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).

The influence of substrate temperature on the UV-Visible-near-IR optical properties, namely the band gap, the Urbach energy and the refractive index of NiO thin films deposited by RF sputtering has been investigated. The optical band gap of thin films showed the blue-shift in the transmission spectra with increase in the substrate temperature which is related to variation in carrier concentration of the deposited films. Urbach energy (EU) values indicate that the films deposited at 400 oC substrate temperature show least structural disorder. The refractive index of the films is found to decrease continuously with increase in the substrate temperature at all photon energies in the visible and near-IR region, and is attributed to the decreasing packing density of the films.

Modifying the structural and optical properties of inorganic glasses via controlled doping of various rare earth ions by inhibiting the quenching effect is a challenging task. We report the influence of samarium (Sm3+) ions concentration on enhanced optical properties of tellurite glass. A series of glasses with composition (0.80-x)TeO2 + 0.10Li2O + 0.10 Na2O + xSm2O3, where 0.0<x <0.03 mol% are prepared using melt quenching method and optical characterizations are performed. The XRD spectra confirm the amorphous nature of the glass. The Urbach energy decreases and the optical gap for both direcet and indirect transitions increases with the increse of samerium contents. The UV-Vis spectra comprised of eight absorption bands and PL spectra reveal four prominet peaks corresponding to various transitions from the ground state to the excited states of Sm3+ ion. The optical response shows significant enhancement with increasing concentration of samerium ions. Our detail experimental analyses may be useful for the development of tellurite glass based photonic devices. Keywords: Tellurite Glass, Sm3+ ions, Urbach Energy, Direct and Indirect Transition.
