Abstract

The melt-quenching process synthesized gadolinium oxide and fluoride in borophosphate glasses doped with terbium ions (Tb3+). The effect of fluoride compounds and their impacts on physical, optical, and luminescent properties have been investigated. The glasses absorbed near-infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet photons. The bright green emission circa 542 nm via the 5D4 → 7F5 radiative state of Tb3+ originated. Depending on the excitation, there are several sorts of ultraviolet, visible light, and X-ray. The values of decay time are in the order of milliseconds (ms). The Gd3+-Tb3+ energy transfer is vital in green emission under 275 nm excitation. According to the results obtained in this work, the developed glasses can be suitable candidates for green emission medium.
