Tailoring Variations in the Microstructures, Linear/Nonlinear Optical, and Mechanical Properties of Dysprosium-Oxide-Reinforced Borate Glasses

Hybrid dysprosium-doped borate glassy samples [B-Gly/Dy]HDG (Borate Glass/Dysprosium)Hybrid Doped Glass were prepared in this study via the melt-quenching method. Its linear/nonlinear optical, photoluminescence, hardness indentation, and micro-creep properties analyzed. The amorphous structure for all was confirmed from XRD patterns. In addition, density functional theory (DFT), optimized by TD-DFT Crystal Sleuth, used to crystallinity of as isolated molecules agreed with peaks experimental Additionally, theoretical lattice types studied using Polymorph, a content studio software, orthorhombic Pc21b (29) triclinic P-1 (2) structures provided. Both mechanical optical responses different concentrations Dy2O3 system. It found that length indentation increases increasing load time, decreases time. stress exponent value also increased 4.1 6.3. strain direct band gap evaluated Davis–Mott relation. Urbach energy its connection disorder degree materials depending on concentration. acquired parameters analyzed determine nonlinear refractive index well linear third-order susceptibility investigated glass samples. photoluminescence emission spectra recorded, their attributed transitions studied. studies showed values 4160.54 5631.58 Mpa. Therefore, higher (S) is more resistant creep.
