Abstract
Three series of Dy3+-, Tb3+-doped and Tb3+/Dy3+ co-doped 40TeO2-20(Gd,Lu)2O3–40WO3 glasses with density of about 6.75 g/cm3 were successfully prepared by high temperature melt-quenching method. The luminescence properties of these rare earth ions doped 40TeO2-20(Gd,Lu)2O3–40WO3 glass were systematically studied by transmittance, photoluminescence (excitation and emission spectra), time-resolved emission spectra (TRES) and X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) spectra, together with the luminescence decay curves. The optimal doping concentration of Dy3+ and Tb3+ ions in 40TeO2-20(Gd,Lu)2O3–40WO3 glasses was determined under UV and X-ray excitation, respectively. It is found there is an efficient energy transfer from Dy3+ to Tb3+ ions in 40TeO2-20(Gd,Lu)2O3–40WO3 glass in photoluminescence spectra. However, it is not true under X-ray excitation due to the complicated physical process.
