Optical Absorption of Nd³⁺ Doped Tellurite Glass Containing Ag Nanoparticles

Abstract:

Understanding the optical properties of rare earth doped tellurite glasses with embedded metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are promising for photonics. Series of Nd³⁺ doped tellurite glasses containing Ag NPs having chemical composition (70-x)Te₂O₃-10MgO-20Li₂CO₃-0.5Nd₂O₃-xAg, where 0.0 x 1.0 mol% are synthesized. Their optical properties are measured using UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy. The absorption spectra exhibits nine absorption bands in the wavelength range of 300-900 nm are obtained and the glass showed light emission due to ⁴F_3/2 ⁴I_9/2transition. The values of optical band gap E_opt and Urbach energy E_u are evaluated from the absorption band. The value of E_opt is found to lie between 2.78 and 2.91 eV for the direct transition whereas the E_u values lie between 0.27 and 0.37 eV. The optical behavior of the samples is studied with varying Ag NPs content and the results are compared with similar studies.
