Tungsten–tellurite glasses and thin films doped with rare-earth elements produced by radio frequency magnetron deposition

Growth and Characterization of Jet Nebulizer Spray Deposited n-type WO3 thin films for Junction Diode Application

“…Among them, tungsten trioxide (WO 3 ) is used in many electronic devices because of its tunable properties of chemical composition, surface morphological, optical absorption in visible range and high the rmalstability 6,7 . Several preparation techniques have been used to deposit tungsten oxide thin films, including sol-gel, spray pyrolysis, chemical vapour deposition, RF sputtering, plasma evaporation, electrodeposition, etc [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . In fact, spray pyrolysis is one of the most versatile techniques to deposit oxide films, allowing the control of many properties of the films by changing the preparation parameters of the technique.…”

Investigation on thermal and microstructural characterization of the TeO2–WO3 system

“…Tellurite glasses have been investigated extensively due to their favorable physical and chemical properties such as, relatively lowphonon energy, high refractive index, high dielectric constant, good infrared transmissivity, low glass transition and melting temperature, thermal and chemical stability and high devitrification resistance [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Owing to these numerous properties, tellurite glasses have become preferable host materials for some infrared and infrared to visible upconversion applications in optical data storage, lasers, sensors and spectroscopic devices [5][6][7][8]11,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

TeO 2 is the main but a conditional glass former; therefore, the addition of a secondary component such as heavy metal oxides, alkalis or halogens increases the glass forming ability [5][6][7][8].…”

Effect of rare-earth dopants on the thermal behavior of tungsten–tellurite glasses

“…There exists a substantial amount of literature on the optical properties of Nd 3+ , Er 3+ , Tm 3+ and Yb 3+ doped tungsten-tellurite glasses [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. However, apart from the study realized by ElMallawany and Abbas Ahmed [21] which reported the effect of Nd 3+ and Er 3+ on the glass transition temperature of tellurite based quaternary glasses, no studies exist about the effect of rare-earth elements on the thermal behavior of tellurite glasses in a wide temperature range.…”
