Properties and Structure Investigation of Rare Earth-Doped Zinc Aluminum Silica-Phosphate Glasses

Abstract:

This study explores a series of optical, thermal, and structural properties based on zinc-aluminum phosphate glasses that doped with varied rare earth (RE) elements Yb2O3 and P2O5 components replaced by SiO2. It was found that for 60P glasses system, 7 mol% Yb2O3 doped has the maximum fluorescence but quenching when Yb2O3 is doped up to 9 mol%. In addition, with increasing the content of Yb2O3 the absorption intensity increased. According to Raman spectra, we found the Yb3+ and Si4+ ions for the impact of network structure of glass, SiO2 added to make the network structure of phosphate glasses at 450-500cm-1 and 600-650cm-1 were formed O-T-O bond and T-O-T bond(T=Si, Al).
