The structural role and coordination environment of cobalt in 45P₂O₅–CaO–Na₂O phosphate glasses: thermal properties and Raman, UV–vis-NIR, and EPR spectroscopy

Abstract

Cobalt-containing materials are of interest for a wide range of applications, from biomaterials to solid-state lasers in optics. For instance, Co2+ is known to trigger the formation of new blood...
