Abstract
Local structures of rare-earth ions in Ge–Ga–S–CsBr glasses were investigated to understand the structural origin on the emission property enhancement. The frequency of the phonon vibration controlling the multiphonon relaxation was changed to 245cm−1 due to the formation of Ga–Br bonds with CsBr addition to sulfide glasses. Formation of this new chemical bond was also confirmed from the phonon side band spectra of Eu3+ ions. Analyses of the EXASF spectra proved that Tm3+ ions were surrounded by approximately seven S ions in Ge0.25Ga0.10S0.65 glass but were coordinated by ∼6 Br ions in the glass with 10mol% of CsBr.
