Photoluminescent (PL) properties related to Te(4+) species in zinc borate glasses are examined. Broad emission was observed by the excitation of the PL excitation peak of Te(4+) present at the optical absorption edge. The emission intensity of Te(4+) in 5TeO(2)-50ZnO-45B(2)O(3) glass was thermally quenched in a temperature region over 100 K, suggesting that concentration quenching preferentiall...

Absorption and emission spectra of lithium sodium borate glass doped with different concentrations of Dy3+ have been reported. The concentration of Dy3+ was varied from 0.3 to 1.3 mol%. The amorphous nature of the prepared samples was confirmed by the X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectra, and other significant physical properties (energy band gap, density, ion con...
