Structural and luminescence properties of borophosphate glasses with different modifier doped with transition metal ions have been investigated in this study. The glass sample from the series of xPb 30 4:0 .2Sb20 3:0.3B 20 3:(0 .5-x)P 20 5 and ySb 20 3:0 .2Pb 30 4:(0 .5-y)B 20 3:0 .3P 20 5where x 20 mol% and 0 y 0 .1 5mol% , respectively, were doped with 0.01 mol% of Fe 20 3 system have been prepared using the melt-quenching technique. The structural properties of samples had been studied using fourier transform infrared (FT-m) spectroscopy. The FT-IR study showed the network structure of the studied glasses based on the B 20 3-P 20 5host with the 5b203 and Pb203 modifiers. The results of FT-IR showed traces of B03 and B04 with the introduction of 5b203 and Pb203 modifiers. With the increasing content of B203 which replacing content of P205 in the glass network, the intensity of the borate band decreases and shifted to lower frequency. uv-Vis spectroscopy analysed the transition of Fe3+ from ground state to excited state in the ultraviolet spectral region. The photoluminescence of samples were studied using photoluminescence spectroscopy. The result of photoluminescence spectroscopy showed the effect of photoluminescence enhancement by doping Fe3+ as activator.
The series samples of xTeO2-(70-x)B2O3-30MgO with 0≤x≤30 mol% have been prepared via the solid-state reaction method. The composition sample of 30TeO2-40B2O3-30MgO were chosen as a doped sample in the composition of 100-y(30TeO2-40B2O3-30MgO)-yEu3+ with 0.2≤y≤2 mol% and were heated at 750oC. The XRD results showed that the major phase was Mg(Te2O5) while MgO(B2O3)2, MgTe6O13, Mg2 (B2O5) and MgB4O7 was observed as a minor phase. The small phase of EuB2O4 and Eu2 Te4 O11 were detected by XRD when the composition of 30TeO2-40B2O3-30MgO were doped with 1.5% of Eu3+. The EDX analysis of 30TeO2-40B2O3-30MgO doped with 1.5% Eu3+ sample was confirmed the presence of boron (B), magnesium (Mg), tellurium (Te), oxygen (O) and europium (Eu) elements. From the FESEM images, the surface morphology of doped 1.5% Eu3+ samples was agglomerated compared with the undoped sample. The average diameter of the grain size is in the range of 50-100 µm. The emission spectra of the Eu3+-doped 30TeO2-40B2O3-30MgO ceramic consists of intense and sharp lines ranging from 550-725 nm. The luminescence spectra showed that the emission intensity of 30TeO2-40B2O3-30MgO doped with Eu3+ was enhanced with the increase of Eu3+ ion from 0.2 to 1.5 mol%, which resulted in enhancement of the red emission of the samples. The longest decay time for 30TeO2-40B2O3-30MgO doped with 1.5 mol % Eu3+ was 0.892 ms.
