Abstract

The preparation and characterization of heavy metal fluoride glasses in the system BaF 2MnF 2ThF 4 (BMT) are discussed. Rare earth ions, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb are incorporated in BMT composition to study the effect of these ions on the magnetic and magneto-optic properties of the base glass. Glass transition and crystallization temperatures (Tg and Tx) are determined. The measured glass samples have low Verdet constant, exhibit strong paramagnetic behavior and are transparent in the infrared spectral region (2–9 μm).
