Copper doped strontium Indium-borate glasses: FTIR, Raman, EPR, optical and structural studies

Tailored spectroscopic characteristics of a new type of CuO nanoparticles-inserted borate glass system: Samarium concentration tuning effect

“…The unique composition of strontium-borate glasses allows for a wide range of optical and electronic properties to be achieved; this makes them appealing for applications such as lasers and luminescence due to lofty quantum efficiency, resistance to corrosion, reduced phonon energy (≈1120 cm −1 ), high refractive index (≈2.89), high thermal expansion (T g ≈ 376 °C at T d = 341 °C), and broad transmittance window in the ultra-violet and infrared zones [ [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] ]. According to many reports in literature, the introduction of heavy metal oxides (HMO) such as SrO into borate glass network reduces the phonon energy because of the SrO stimulated conversion of BO 3 into BO 4 units [ [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] ].…”
