This research investigates the influence of the concentration of Sm+ 3 ions on the features of a new borosilicate glass system with the composition 50B2O3– 14SiO2- 20Li2O– 15Na2O– 1.0Al2O3-x(Sm2O3), where x = 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 ppm. The glasses are characterized by XRD, FTIR, UV- Vis- NIR, and photoluminescence spectra. The XRD results proved that all prepared glass has amorphous nature. Moreover, it was found that the value of density, ρ, and refractive index,n, increase with increasing of Sm+ 3 content. Otherwise, the value of molar volume, optical energy gap, and boron-boron distance decrease by increasing sm+ 3 concentration. The structure of glasses studied was investigated by computing \(Internuclear \left({r}_{i}\right)\), Polaron radius \(\left({r}_{p}\right)\), field strength \(\left(F\right)\) and the deconvolution of FTIR spectra. Judd-Ofelt theory applied to clarify the structural changes and nature of the bonds of prepared glasses. Moreover, A spectroscopic quality factor, the branching ratio (βr), and lifetime (τ) are calculated via the parameters of Judd-Ofelt. The color chromaticity of the present glasses evidenced that the emission was in the white-reddish orange region under 402nm excitation depended on the concentration of Sm3+ ions incorporated into the host glasses. From photoluminescence emission, stimulated emission cross-section, and CIE chromaticity leads to these glasses are promising for light-emitting diode (LED) as; laser material in a wide range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
