Compositional effect on structural and spectroscopic properties of P2O5–SnO–MnO ternary glass system

Optical properties of highly Er3+-doped sodium–aluminium–phosphate glasses for broadband 1.5μm emission

“…Recently, phosphate glasses have received a great deal of attention due to their potential application in optical data transmission, detection, sensing and laser technology, waveguide and fiber optical amplifier devices [6][7][8]. In general, the RE emission in glassy matrix is strongly dependent on crystal field effects, local environment where the ion is situated, phonon energies, refractive index and precise details about defect energy levels (Urbach tails) extended into the band gap.…”

Thermal, structural and magnetic properties of some zinc phosphate glasses doped with manganese ions

“…Glasses containing transition metal ions (TMI) have attracted much attention due to their electrical [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], optical [8][9][10][11][12][13] and magnetic properties [14][15][16][17] which render them suitable for large practical and potential applications in many fields such as memory switching [18,19] electronics [5,6,12,15], catalysis [20][21][22] and magnetic information storage [10,14,16]. These properties of the TMI glasses arise from the presence of TMI in multivalent states [4,[23][24][25][26].…”

Influence of the Structure on Magnetic Properties of Calcium-Phosphate Systems Doped with Iron and Vanadium Ions

“…These properties include a lower melting temperature, high transparency in the UV domain, reduced viscosity, low glass transition temperatures, and elevated thermal expansion coefficients [ 1 , 2 ]. Phosphorus-based glassy materials have a disordered and partially disordered structure and by doping with different transition metal ions acquire some special electrical, optical and magnetic properties [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ] compared to crystalline materials. In this way, they become useful in many fields such as electronics, optics, sealing materials, bio-glass fabrication, and also in some cases in microbiological and biomedical applications [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”
