“…Thus, the emission and luminescence excitation spectra also testify that the europium impurity is incorporated in the Li 2 ions. This agrees well with the data known for the Eu-doped lithium tetraborate crystal [22], the lithium tetraborate glass [31], the lithium borate glasses [20,23,43] and the other borate glasses [24,44,45]. However, the above result does not correlate with the findings for the Eu-doped Li 2 B 4 O 7 [31] and SrB 4 O 7 [29] crystals, the lithium borate glasses [21] and some other borate glasses [28,30].…”
