Abstract
Tellurite glasses of the compositions TeO2(60%)-ZnO(40%) and TeO2(60%)-ZnO(20%)-BaO(20%) were prepared in the bulk form with following grinding into powders. The samples were X-ray irradiated. The created charge trapping centers were studied in both types of samples using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The O− defect and two types of F+ centers were discovered. One of the F+ center remained unchanged whereas the other one as well as the O− defect were affected by the presence of BaO. Moreover, photo-, radio- and thermoluminescence (PL, RL, TL, respectively) methods were applied as well. The discovered charge trapping centers have been proven to influence luminescence properties as well – improving them in the TeO2(60%)-ZnO(40%) and vice versa degrading them in the TeO2(60%)-ZnO(20%)-BaO(20%) glasses. The effect was even stronger in the grinded samples as compared to the bulk ones. The role of the BaO has been disclosed as supporting oxygen leakage from the host.
