| Summary: | The zinc borotellurite doped with dysprosium oxide glass samples with chemical formula
{[(TeO ) (B O ) ] (ZnO) } (Dy O ) 2 0.7 2 3 0.3 0.7 0.3 1−x 2 3 x (where x=0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 M fraction) were prepared
by using conventional melt quenching technique. The structural and optical properties of the proposed
glass systems were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, Fourier Transform
Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and UV–VIS spectroscopy. The amorphous nature of the glass systems is
confirmed by using XRD technique. The infrared spectra of the glass systems indicate three obvious
absorption bands which are assigned to BO3 and TeO4 vibrational groups. Based on the absorption spectra
obtained, the direct and indirect optical band gaps, as well as the Urbach energy were calculated. It is
observed that both the direct and indirect optical band gaps increase with the concentration of Dy3+ ions.
On the other hand, the Urbach energy is observed to decrease as the concentration of Dy3+ ions increases. |
