Optical, Infrared Spectral and Mechanical Investigations of CeO2-Doped Borosilicate Glasses Containing Bi2O3 and TeO2

Effect of CeO2 /Er2O3 co-doping on spectroscopic properties of zinc fluoroborate glasses

“…Tables 2 and 3 show the band assignments and deconvolution features for fabricated BZEr 0.5 glass samples doped Cerium ions, respectively. The FT-IR of borate glasses explored in the main three IR regions in general whether vibrational or absorption bands [5,[49][50][51][52][53][54] (i) Bending vibrations of B-O-B in BO 3 is responsible for the range of 600 to 800 cm −1 .…”

“…The formation of [CeO 6 ] structural units was influenced by the increase of CeO 2 , as shown by the invariance of the area of [BO 4 ] structural units and the shift of the Ce-O-B (3) towards larger wave numbers. An increase in tetrahedral BO 4 units at the expense of BO 3 units indicates that CeO 2 addition plays a significant role in changing the glass network and making the glass system more compact [5,[49][50][51][52][53][54]. Therefore, the present glasses' optical and fluorescent properties were enhanced by embedding cerium ions into the host glass network.…”

“…-convolution parameters of the FT-IR spectra of the glasses under investigation[5,[49][50][51][52][53][54].A A El-Maaref et al 5.6 g cm −3 , 81.38, and 7.65 g cm −3 , 172.115 for zinc and cerium oxides respectively. The molar volume (V m) is determined by the ratio between the mean weight of the sample to its density.…”
