Luminescence Properties of Cerium Doped Iron Calcium Boroaluminate Glass

Abstract:

Borate glass system of composition (100-x)B₂O₃-15Al₂O₃-20CaO-0.4Fe₂O₃-xCeO₂ with x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.0 mol% were prepared using conventional melt-quenching method. Optical measurements were carried out at room temperature to determine the Cerium (Ce³⁺) ions concentration dependent absorption and luminescence emission properties of such glass system. Optical energy band gap of the glass system were evaluated as a function of Ce³⁺ ions content. Indirect band gap energy was found to be lower than the direct band gap energy. Urbach energy was ranged between 0.12-0.17 eV. An increased broad absorption is observed in the UV region with increasing Ce³⁺ ions concentration. The emission spectra of the glass system recorded with 380 nm excitation wavelength revealed prominent cyan-green emission.
