A Study of the Physical and Optical Properties of Ho3+ in Soda-Lime-Silicate Glass Systems

Soda-lime-silicate glasses in the compositions of (65-x)SiO2-25Na2O-10CaO-xHo2O3 (where x = 0.0, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50 mol % ) were prepared by melt-quenching technique and characterized. The results show that, the absorption spectra of Ho3+ doped in soda-lime-silicate glass correspond with several bands, which are assigned from the ground state, 5I8 to 3H6 (360 nm), 5G4 (380 nm), 5G5 (417 nm), 5G6 (453 nm), 5F3 (479 nm), 5F4 (538 nm), 5F5 (639 nm), and 5I5 (880 nm). The refractive index and density of glasses were increase with increasing of Ho2O3 concentration. The color of glass samples is light amber with doped Ho2O3 in glass matrix.

Co Doped

Co/Cr co-doped in soda lime silicate (SLS) glasses were prepared by using normal melt quenching technique. The current composition was prepared based on the proposed ratio: (64.9-x)SiO2: 10CaO: 25Na2O: 0.1CuO: xCoO where x=0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 mol% were prepared at 1200°C for 3 h, and annealed at 500 °C for 3 h. The physical and optical properties of Co/Cr co-doped in SLS glasses were investigated such as density, molar volume, refractive index and optical absorption were discussed and measured. The optical absorption spectrum of Co/Cr co-doped in SLS glasses measured at room temperature in the wavelength region 200–1100 nm were presented.
