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.

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.

Magnesium sulfoborate glasses of different compositions were prepared using melt quenching method with the purpose of using it for optical properties. The Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) have been carried out. Density and molar volume have been evaluated and analysed. From the results of XRD, the absent of discrete and continuous sharp peaks confirmed the amorphous nature of the glass compositions while the results from both FTIR and NMR revealed the existence of BO3, BO4 units. Addition of MgO to sulfoborate influenced the conversion of the dominant BO3 groups to BO4 groups. The BO4 groups are known for creating complex defects that transform into that stable trap good for optical phenomena. It was observed that the density of glass increases while the molar volume is decreases with respect to increase in concentration of alkaline earth oxide in the glass compositions.

Borotellurite glasses were generally applied in rare earth optical materials due to their excellent physical properties. Samarium doped borotellurite glasses have been identified as one of the potential candidate for optical applications. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the physical properties of Sm3+ doped borotellurite glasses by mean of their density, molar volume, microhardness and X-ray diffraction. In this study, the Sm3+ doped borotellurite glasses of the system (70-x)TeO2-20B2O3-10ZnO-xSm2O3 as the samarium trioxide varies from (x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol%) have been prepared by melt-quenching method. The amorphous nature of the prepared glass samples have been confirmed through XRD spectral analysis. The values of density are found to vary from 4.541g/cm3 to 4.837g/cm3 as well as the values of molar volume as it varies from 29.118cm3/mol to 28.314cm3/mol with the increase of Sm3+ content. The physical properties corresponding to compositional changes have been analysed and the result are reported and presented.

<p>Phosphate glasses in the system (50-x)A<sub>2</sub>O-xMoO<sub>3</sub>-10Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>-40P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> (AMo-40), with x=0; 30 and A=Li or Na were prepared by the melt quenching method. The effect in the crystallization behaviour of the glass due to the introduction of MoO<sub>3</sub> in the glass composition and varying the molar ratio between network modifiers and network formers (M/F) was studied. The prepared glasses were heat-treated in air, at 550, 600 and 650 ºC for 4 hours. The structure, of the obtained samples, was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and the morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the replacement of Li<sub>2</sub>O or Na<sub>2</sub>O by MoO<sub>3</sub> reduces the number of the crystallised phases. In the lithium-niobiophosphate glasses the presence of MoO<sub>3</sub> promotes the formation of NbOPO<sub>4</sub> and reduces the formation of ortho- and pyro-phosphate phases. The thermal treatments affect the arrangements of the network structure of the AMo-40-glasses.</p>

The optical behaviour of Er3+ (1.0 – 2.0 mol %) doped B2O3-TeO2- Na2O-MgO glasses synthesized by conventional melt-quenching technique was studied through luminescence measurements. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirms the amorphous nature of the glasses without the existence of any sharp peak. The emission spectra at 378 nm excitation displayed three emission peaks corresponding to 2H11/2-4I15/2, 4S3/2-4I15/2 and4I9/2-4I15/2 transitions. Hence, a schematic energy level diagram was proposed. The luminescence properties of the prepared glasses was found to be strongly affected by varying the concentration of Er3+ ions.

Series of glass samples with composition (72.5-x)TeO2-15MgO-10Na2O-2.5Nd2O3-xNiO where 1.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.5 mol% are prepared using melt quenching method. The glasses are characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XRD spectra confirmed the amorphous nature of prepared glasses. TEM images manifest the existence of NiO NPs which are homogeneously distributed in the glass matrix. The magnetization M(H) curve reveals that the glass displays an anomalous hysteresis behavior at room temperature. It is observed that M(H) is dependent on the NiO content. The initial curve of magnetization lies positively as a function of the magnetic field under 1000 H (O.e).

Abstract. Neodymium doped sodium bismuth borate (Na2O-Bi2O3-B2O3) glasses were prepared by melt quenching method. Amorphous nature of the glass is confirmed through the X-ray diffraction study. Density of the investigated glasses increases systematically with Bi2O3 concentration. Glass transition temperature decrease slightly with increase of Bi2O3 content and could be due to increase in the number of weaker Bi-O linkages by stronger Nd-O linkages. Fourier Transform - Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been carried out. The IR spectra of the glasses reveal that the strong network consisting of diborate units and is unaffected by the variation of Nd3+ concentration. UV-Visible absorption studies have been performed on these glasses to examine the optical spectra and the optical band gap energy has been calculated. The intensity of the absorption band increases with the increase of Nd3+ concentration. This is due to the formation of non-bridging oxygens (NBO’s) in the structure.
