The bismuth borophosphate glass matrix doped with Nd2O3have been prepared by conventional melt quenching method with the molar compositions of 25Bi2O3: 5B2O3: (70-x)P2O5: xNd2O3(where x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mol%). The density, molar volume, optical absorption and upconversion luminescnece spectra were studied. It can be seen that the density is not depend on Nd2O3concentration. The molar volume is tending to be decreased with increasing of Nd2O3due to the decrease in the bond length or interatomic spacing between the atoms. Ten absorption bands at 427, 471, 510, 525, 580 , 622, 682, 743, 802 and 873 nm are observed, which could be ascribed to Nd3+transitions from the4I9/2ground state to2P1/2,2G9/2,4G9/2,4G7/2,4G5/2+2G7/2,2H11/2,4F9/2,4F7/2+4S3/2,4F5/2+4H9/2and4F3/2levels. The upconversion luminescence band at 394 nm was observed and the highest emission intensity was obtained at 0.8 mol% of Nd2O3.

Neonymium doped bismuth borate glasses with composition 50Bi2O3 : (50-x)B2O3: xNd2O3 (where x = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol%) have been prepared by melt quenching technique. The optical and upconversion luminescence properties of glasses were investigated. The nine absorption peaks were observed, correspond with Nd3+ energy level in glass. The optical band gap decreased with increasing Nd2O3 concentration due to the increase of non-bridging oxygen (NBOs) in glass matrix. The upconversion luminescence emission spectra shows peak at 393 nm, assign to 4D3/24I11/2 transition.

The new glass series were prepared in compositions 25Gd2O3-10CaO-10SiO2-(55-x) B2O3-xEr2O3 (where x is 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol %) by normal melt-quenching technique at the melting temperature of 1,400 °C. The optical spectra were measured and shown absorption bands were assigned to appropriate f-f electronic transitions of Er3+ ions from the 4I15/2 ground state to the following excited states: 4G11/2, 2H9/2, 4F5/2, 4F7/2, 2H11/2, 4S3/2, 4F9/2, 4I9/2 and 4I11/2. Single peak from upconversion luminescence was observed at 531 nm (green) is assigned to the 2H11/24I15/2. In this work, the strongest peak at 2.0 % mol of Er2O3 was observed. In this work, suggests that the Er3+ ion in gadolinium calcium silicoborate glasses possibly considered as a potential candidate for applications in upconversion-based optical devices.

Er3+-doped ZnO – BaO – TeO2 glasses with the formula (80-x)TeO2–15ZnO–5BaO–xEr2O3 were fabricated using melt quenching technique. The 5 glass samples with different concentrations of Er2O3 were prepared under atmospheric pressure. The samples were investigated on their properties: density, molar volume, absorption spectra and photoluminescence. Density was increased with an increase in Er3+ content. The molar volume trend is in the opposite way to that of the density. The absorption bands are assigned as absorptions from the 4I15/2 ground state to the 4F7/2, 2H11/2, 4S3/2, 4F9/2, 4I9/2, 4I11/2 and 4I13/2 levels. All absorption bands are increase with increasing content of Er3+. The photoluminescence spectra were measured with 980 nm light pumped by flash lamp. The spectra trends to increase with increasing concentration of the dopant.

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.

Glass compositions xPbO : 20Na2O : (80-x)B2O3 (x = 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50 and 55 %mol) have been prepared using melt-quenching method. The density and molar volume of these glass samples have been found to be compositional dependent. The results indicate that PbO acts on the glass structures were different between the range 0≤ x ≤ 20 %mol and beyond x = 20 %mol (with inflection at x = 20 %mol). These due to the PbO can enter the glass network both as a network modifier and also as a network former. This role depends on the type of bond between lead and oxide. These results are interpreted in term of IR analysis.

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.

Ho3+ doped zinc bismuth borate glasses of the composition 10ZnO : 30Bi2O3 : (60-x)B2O3 : xHo2O3 (where x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mol%) were fabricated by conventional melt quenching technique. In order to understand the role of Ho2O3 in these glasses, the density, molar volume and optical spectra were investigated. The molar volume decreases with an increase in Ho2O3 content, which is attributed to the structure becomes more compacted. The absorption spectra of Ho3+ doped in zinc bismuth borate glass correspond to several bands, which are assigned from the ground state, 5I8 to 5G5 (420 nm), 5G6 + 5F1 (451 nm), 5F2 + 5F4 (538 nm), 5F5 (643 nm) and 5I5 (1152 nm). Moreover, the optical basicities were also theoretically determined.
