“…Nine distinct absorption bands are observed at 431, 473, 527, 586, 628, 684, 749, 805 and 878 nm corresponding to electronic transition configuration within multiples of the 4f 3 from energy ground state ( 4 I 9/2 ) to the exited states: ( 2 P 1/2 + 2 D 5/2 ), ( 2 K 15/2 + 2 D 3/2 + 2 G 9/2 + 2 G 11/2 ), ( 2 K 13/2 + 4 G 7/2 + 4 G 9/2 ), ( 2 G 7/2 + 4 H 5/2 ), ( 2 H 11/2 ), ( 4 F 9/2 ), ( 4 F 7/2 + 4 S 3/2 ), ( 4 F 5/2 + 2 H 9/2 ), ( 4 F 3/2 ), respectively. As shown in the figure, the peak position of all absorption bands varies only slightly (±1 nm) and is within the range of those reported by many authors [9,[16][17][18][19][20] thus confirming a strong shielding of 4f orbital from the outside ligands. Due to UV absorption edge around 400 nm, absorption bands at wavelength less than 400 nm that appears in many glasses [19, 21-23] are blocked.…”

Two series of tellurite glasses with molar compositions of (55TeO 2 -2Bi 2 O 3 -(41-x) ZnO-2Na 2 O-xNd 2 O 3 (x=0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5) and 55TeO 2 -2Bi 2 O 3 -(41-x) ZnO-xNa 2 O-2Nd 2 O 3 (x=1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0) were fabricated using melt quenching technique. Based on the measured densities, refractive indices and absorption spectra, physical and spectroscopic properties of these two-glass series are evaluated and compared. Whereas substitution of ZnO by Nd 2 O 3 causes the values of density and refractive index increase, the substitution of ZnO by Na 2 O has been shown to impact the glass density and refractive index in the opposite manner. Molar volume of both series increases with an increase of either Nd 2 O 3 or Na 2 O concentrations. In this regard, a dynamical model explaining the density and molar volume was proposed. Additionally, Judd-Ofelt theory was applied in order to predict the physical and laser properties of the two glasses series as a function of glass compositions, i.e., Judd-Ofelt parameters Ω t (t=2, 4, 6), branching ratios (β), calculated lifetimes (τ), the emission to exited state absorption intensity ratio (A em /A ESA ) and spectroscopic quality χ=Ω 4 /Ω 6 . Equations to relate χ with branching ratios for laser transitions 4 F 3/2 to 4 I J' (with J′ =9/2, 11/2, 13/2 and 15/2) were also derived.

“…Optical absorption, particularly the absorption edge, is useful for the investigation of optically-induced transitions and for getting information about the band gap energy [4,10,11,14,16,37,41]. This parameter is very interesting for the applications of the materials to be studied.…”

Glasses of the (50-x/2)Na 2 O-xMO-(50-x/2)P 2 O 5 (M = Zn, Mg or Mn) (0 ≤ x ≤ 33 mol%), (50-x)Na 2 O-xMO-50P 2 O 5 (M = Zn, Mn) (0 ≤ x ≤ 33 mol%), and (0.9-x) NaPO 3 -xSiO 2 -0.1ZnO (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1 mol) were prepared by the melt quenching technique. Samples were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, Archimede's method, ellipsometry, Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR), Raman, 31P solid state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR), UV-visible spectroscopy and calorimetry. For zinc, manganese and magnesium phosphate glasses, the increase in density with the addition of MO oxide suggests the compactness of the vitreous network. For zinc phosphate silicate glasses, the variations of density and refractive index were attributed to the structural changes when SiO 2 oxide is progressively introduced. The increase in the glass transition temperature (Tg) reflects an increase in the cross-link strength of the structure as MO and SiO 2 oxides are gradually incorporated. For all glass composition, spectroscopic investigations revealed the depolymerization of metaphosphate chains (Q 2 ) allowing the formation of phosphate dimers (Q 1 ). Calorimetric dissolution shows that the dissolution is endothermic for lower MO content and become exothermic when x rises. For (50-x/2)Na 2 O-xZnO-(50-x/2)P 2 O 5 (0 ≤ x ≤ 33 mol%) glasses, the formation enthalpy increases with the incorporation of ZnO oxide.
