Physical and Optical Properties of Ce³⁺ Doped in Bismuth Borate Glass

Abstract:

Bismuth borate glasses doped with cerium in the composition 50Bi₂O₃:(50-x)B₂O₃:xCeF₃ were prepared for the composition range 0x2.5 (in mol%). The glass samples have been fabricated by the conventional melt quenching technique. The physical and optical properties of glass samples were investigated. The optical absorption spectra of the glasses have been measured in the wavelength range 190-1100 nm and no absorption peak was obtained in this region. The absorption spectra of all samples were shifted to longer wavelength with increasing of CeF₃ concentrations. Optical band gap decreased and refractive index increased with increasing of CeF₃ concentrations.
