Investigations of Praseodymium doped LiF-ZnO-Bi2O3-B2O3 glass matrix for photonic applications

To investigate the effect of host matrix and ligand environment around Pr3+ in bismuth borate glasses, a series of xLiF•(20-x) ZnO•20Bi2O3•60B2O3+1 mol% of Pr6O11 (x = 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20) was synthesized by melt quench process. X-ray Diffraction pattern ascertained the amorphous nature of prepared...

Description
Summary:To investigate the effect of host matrix and ligand environment around Pr3+ in bismuth borate glasses, a series of xLiF•(20-x) ZnO•20Bi2O3•60B2O3+1 mol% of Pr6O11 (x = 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20) was synthesized by melt quench process. X-ray Diffraction pattern ascertained the amorphous nature of prepared samples. Density and Molar volume were calculated and predicted that structure of glass matrix shows expansion. FTIR Spectroscopy was performed and presence of broad bands in the spectra indicated amorphous nature of samples. FTIR exploration confirmed the existence of bismuth and borate groups. The fraction of tetraborate units (BO4) were calculated from the deconvoluted FTIR spectra of glass samples and found to have a decreasing order with the addition of lithium fluoride. UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra consisted of nine peaks of Pr3+ ions, slight shift in peak position was observed with addition of lithium fluoride and other optical parameters were also calculated.
