Glass formation in the Sb2O3–CdCl2–SrCl2 ternary system

Spectroscopic analysis of up conversion luminescence in doped halogeno-antimonite glass

“…Our results fall into two categories: the first focuses on the physical characteristics of the new glassy matrix (80 Sb 2 O 3 -10 ZnBr 2 -10 KCl), and the second shows the up-conversion emission of the matrix doped with trivalent lanthanides and the same spectrum of the Yb:Er co-doped glass. Main physical properties of this glass are gathered at tables 1a and 1b.They are close to those reported for other antimonite glasses [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. The Yb 3+ / Er 3+ co-doping results in the population of two additional levels 2 H 11/2 and 4 F 9/2 and two additional emission lines, by comparison to the glass doped only with Er 3+ .…”

“…There may be a possibility of existence of antimony ions in the Sb 5+ state and participate in the glass network forming with Sb 5+ O 4 structural units may enhance the nonlinear optical properties [48].Antimonite glasses are based on Sb 2 O 3 as a glass former. They belong to the group of HMOG and have been reported in a large number of vitreous systems [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. They exhibit large linear and non-linear refractive index.…”

Dielectric dispersion and ac conduction phenomena of Li2O−Sb2O3−PbO−GeO2:Cr2O3 glass system

“…Because of these qualities, GeO 2 based glasses are also being used to generate phase gratings directly in optical fibers by UV irradiation [9]. Addition of heavy metal oxides like PbO and Sb 2 O 3 to these glasses further strengthen their second harmonic generation [10] capability and makes the glasses useful for nonlinear optical devices like ultrafast optical switches, power limiters and broad band optical amplifiers operating around 1.5 μm [11,12]. GeO 2 glasses are also well-known glasses for solid electrolyte applications [13] since they exhibit high ionic conductivity.…”

Synthesis of transparent chloroborosilicate nanoglass-ceramics: Crystallization and growth mechanism of BaCl2 nanocrystals

“…In 1996, Hoell et al reported that a small quantity of chloride in 13Na 2 O-11CaO-76SiO 2 (mol%) glass system causes a dramatic change of kinetics and equilibrium conditions for the phase separation process in the glass [18]. Glass formation in the Sb 2 O 3 -CdCl 2 -SrCl 2 ternary system was reported by Iezid et al They exhibited low-phonon energy [19]. Recently, the properties of 70TeO 2 -10Sb 2 O 3 -20PbCl 2 composition are reported [20].…”
