Physical, Absorption and Photoluminescence Performance of Eu³⁺ Doped Lithium Chloride Tellurite Glass

Abstract:

A series of (74.4-x) TeO₂ – (4.3) LiO₂ – (21.3) LiCl – (x) Eu₂O₃ with 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.0 mol % has been made using melt-quenching technique and their optical characteristic has been studied. The present works cover the preparation of the glass sample and the effects of Eu³⁺ on the physical properties, absorption and photoluminescence behaviour of the lithium chloride tellurite glass. The physical properties such as density and molar volume are determined. It is found that the density and molar volume presents fluctuation trends. As the samples are excited at 393 nm, six emission peaks have been observed at 532, 552, 586, 613, 649, and 697 nm indicating the transitions of ⁵D₁ → ⁷F₁, ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₀, ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₁, ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂, ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₃ and ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₄ respectively. It is observed that transition ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ shows the highest intensity. The emission intensity increases with the increment of Eu₂O₃ concentration. The high-intensity ratios of 1.88 observed for glass sample contain 2.0 mol % Eu₂O₃ concentrations indicate a greater degree of Eu-O-covalency and possess the better quality of host matrix.
