Abstract
A series of SiO2-B2O3-ZnO-La2O3-BaO (SBZLBa) glasses doped with Dy3+ and Eu3+ were synthesized using the melt-quenching technique. Their optical characteristics and potential applications in W-LED devices were investigated. The structural effects resulting from doping the glass with Dy3+ and Eu3+ ions were elucidated through infrared spectroscopy and an examination of the physical properties. The variations in emission intensity within the fluorescence spectrum validated the sensitizing effect of Dy3+ on Eu3+ within the glass matrix. By manipulating the transitions of both Dy3+ and Eu3+, the excitation wavelength was altered, enabling the realization of cool white, neutral white, and warm white luminescence, thus accommodating the diverse requirements for white light emission in lighting applications. After incorporating 1.0 mol% of Dy2O3 and 0.8 mol% of Eu2O3, respectively, the glass exhibited CIE coordinates of (0.3332, 0.3535), positioning it within the white light spectrum and in close proximity to the ideal white light coordinates of (0.33, 0.33). The SBZLBa-Dy2O3–0.8Eu2O3 glass exhibited a quantum yield of 5.98 %. It has been demonstrated through acid and alkali resistance tests that this glass possesses excellent chemical stability. Additionally, temperature-dependent emission spectra have revealed that the luminous intensity of the glass maintains over 85 % of its room temperature value at 185 °C, with Eα determined to be 0.2387 eV.
