Spectroscopic Studies of the Behavior of Eu3+ on the Luminescence of Cadmium Tellurite Glasses

open access: yesJournal of Spectroscopy, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The effect of europium doping on the photoluminescence of ZnO‐CdO‐TeO2 glasses is analyzed. TeO2‐based glasses are of high interest as hosts for laser glasses. The Eu‐doped oxide glasses were prepared by the conventional melt‐quenching method. Five different concentrations of europium nitrate hexahydrate that varied from 0.3 to 1.5 mol% were used.
