Magnetic and structural properties of CaO–SiO2–P2O5–Na2O–Fe2O3 glass ceramics

Magnetic properties of glass ceramics derived from glasses with composition 41CaO·(52−x)SiO₂·4P₂O₅·xFe₂O₃·3Na₂O (2?x?10 mol% iron oxide (Fe₂O₃)) are reported. Structural investigation revealed the presence of nanocrystalline magnetite phase in the heat-treated samples containing x?2 mol% Fe₂O₃. Magnetic hysteresis cycles of the glass-ceramic samples were obtained with a maximum applied field of ±20 kOe as well as a low field of ±500 Oe, in order to evaluate the potential of these glass ceramics for hyperthermia treatment of cancer. Samples with x>2 mol% of iron oxide exhibited magnetic behavior similar to soft magnetic materials with low coercivity. The evolution of magnetic properties in these samples as a function of iron oxide molar concentration is correlated with the amount and crystallite size of magnetite phase present in them.     

Investigation of structural,physical and optical properties of CeO2–Bi2O3–B2O3 glasses

xCeO₂–30Bi₂O₃–(70−x) B₂O₃ glasses are synthesized by using the melt quench technique. A number of studies such as XRD, density, molar volume, optical band gap, refractive index and FTIR spectroscopy are employed to characterize the glasses. The band gap decreases from 2.15 to 1.61 eV, refractive index increases from 2.67 to 2.93 and density increases from 4.151 to 4.633 g/cm³. The decrease in band gap with CeO₂ doping approaches the semiconductor behavior. FTIR spectroscopy reveals that incorporation of CeO₂ into glass network helps to convert the structural units of [BO₃] into [BO₄] and results in Bi–O bond vibration of [BiO₆].     

Optical,physical and structural studies of vanadium doped P2O5–BaO–Li2O glasses

Glasses in the compositions (Li₂O)₂₅–(BaO)₂₅–(P₂O₅)_50−x–(V₂O₅)_x (with x=0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5, and 3.0 mol%) have been prepared by the conventional melt quenching technique. X-ray powder diffractrogram show broad peaks which conforms glassy nature of the sample. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms show characteristic glass transition temperature (T_g) and it increases with increasing substitution of V₂O₅ for P₂O₅. The measured physical parameters like density, refractive index, ionic concentration and electronic polarizability are found to vary linearly with increasing x. Infrared spectra exhibits few bands, which are attributed to (P=O)_AS, (P=O)_S, (V=O), (P–O–P)_AS,P–O–V, (P–O–P)_AS and O–P–O vibrations. The optical absorption spectra of VO²⁺ ions in these glasses show three bands and are assigned to the ²B₂→ ²E,²B₂→ ²B₁ and ²B₂→ ²A₁ transitions. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of all the glass samples exhibit resonance signals characteristic of VO²⁺ ions. The values of Spin-Hamiltonian parameters indicate that the VO²⁺ ions are present in octahedral sites with tetragonal compression and belong to C_4V symmetry.     

Preparation and characteristics of?a?BaO–Al2O3–B2O3–SiO2–La2O3 glass ceramic via spray pyrolysis

The characteristics of a BaO–Al₂O₃–B₂O₃–SiO₂–La₂O₃ glass ceramic prepared by spray pyrolysis were studied. Glass powders with spherical shape and amorphous phase were prepared by complete melting at a preparation temperature of 1 500°C. The mean size and geometric standard deviation of the powders prepared at the temperature of 1 500°C were 0.6 μm and 1.3. The glass powders had similar composition to that of the spray solution. The glass transition temperature (T _g) of the glass powders was 600.3°C. Two crystallization exothermic peaks were observed at 769.3 and 837.8°C. Densification of the specimen started at a sintering temperature of 600°C, in which Ba₄La₆O(SiO₄)₆ as main crystal structure was observed. Complete densification of the specimen occurred at a sintering temperature of 800°C. The specimens sintered at temperatures above 800°C had main crystal structure of BaAl₂Si₂O₈.     

Conversion of covalent to ionic character of V2O5–CeO2–PbO–B2O3 glasses for solid state ionic devices

xV₂O₅–xCeO₂–(30−x)PbO–(70−x) B₂O₃ glasses are synthesized by using the melt quench technique. The number of studies such as XRD, density, molar volume, optical band gap, refractive index and FTIR spectroscopy are employed to characterize the glasses. The band gap decreases from 2.20 to 1.78 eV and density increases from 3.49 to 4.25 g/cm³. FTIR spectroscopy reveals that incorporation of V₂O₅ in glass network helps to convert the structural units of [BO₃] into [BO₄]. At higher concentration of vanadium, VO vibration of [VO₅] structural units and V–O–V vibration are present. The bond ionicity of glasses increases with incorporation of V₂O₅ contents.     

Broadband near-IR emission and temperature dependence in Er/Tm co-doped Bi2O3–SiO2–Ga2O3 glasses

The broadband near-IR emission has been investigated in a series of Er/Tm co-doped Bi₂O₃–SiO₂–Ga₂O₃ (BSG) glasses with 800 nm laser diode as an excitation source. A broadband emission extending from 1350 to 1650 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) around 165 nm is obtained in 0.2 wt% Er₂O₃ and 1.0 wt% Tm₂O₃ co-doped BSG glass. The fluorescence decay curves of glasses are measured and maximum energy transfer efficiency from Er³⁺ to Tm³⁺ reaches 71% when Tm³⁺ concentration is 1.0 wt%. The temperature dependence of the broadband emission spectra in Er³⁺–Tm³⁺ co-doped BSG glass is also recorded to further understand the energy-transfer processes between Er³⁺ and Tm³⁺. The present work suggests that Er/Tm co-doped BSG glasses can be a potential candidate for broadband integrated amplifier.

Physical,optical and radiative properties of CaSO4–B2O3–P2O5 glasses doped with Sm3+ ions

Trivalent rare earth ions doped borosulfophosphate glasses are in high demand owing to their several unique attributes that are advantageous for applications in diverse photonic devices. Thus, Sm³⁺ ion doped calcium sulfoborophosphate glasses with composition of 25CaSO₄–30B₂O₃–(45?x)P₂O₅–xSm₂O₃ (where x?=?0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1.0 mol%) were synthesized using melt-quenching technique. X-ray diffraction confirmed the amorphous nature of the prepared glass samples. Differential thermal analyses show transition peaks for melting temperature, glass transition and crystallization temperature. The glass stability is found in the range 91?°C to 116?°C which shows increased stability with addition of Sm₂O₃ concentration. The Fourier transform infrared spectral measurements carried out showed the presence of vibration bands due to PO linkage, BO_3, BO₄, PO₄, POP, OPO, SOB, and BOB unit. Glass density showed increase in value from 2.179 to 2.251?g cm^?3 with increase in Sm₂O₃ concentration. The direct, indirect band gap and Urbach energy calculated were found to be within 4.368–4.184?eV, 3.641–3.488?eV and 0.323–0.282?eV energy ranges, respectively. The absorption spectra revealed ten prominent peaks centered at 365, 400, 471, 941, 1075, 1228, 1375, 1477, 1528 and 1597?nm corresponding to ⁴D_3/2,⁶H_5/2→⁴I_11/2,⁶P_3/2, ⁶F_11/2, ⁶F_9/2, ⁶F_7/2, ⁶F_5/2, ⁶F_3/2, ⁶H_15/2 and ⁶F_1/2 transitions respectively. Photoluminescence spectra monitored at the excitation of 398?nm exhibits four emission bands positioned at 559, 596,643 and 709?nm corresponding to ⁴G_5/2→⁶H_5/2, ⁶H_7/2, ⁶H_9/2 and ⁶H_11/2 transitions respectively. The nephelauxetic parameters calculated showed good influence on the local environment within the samarium ions site and the state of the SmO bond. The Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters calculated for all glass samples revealed that Ω_6?>?Ω_4?>?Ω₂. The emission cross-section and the branching ratios values obtained for ⁴G_5/2→⁶H_7/2 transition indicate its suitability for LEDs and solid-state laser application.

用高温熔融法制备了Bi离子掺杂浓度为1mol%的GeO-B₂O₃-Na₂O (GBNB)，GeO₂-Al₂O₃-Na₂O(GANB)，GeO₂-Al₂O₃-BaO(GABB)和GeO₂-Al₂O₃-Y₂O₃(GAYB)玻璃.测定了样品玻璃的差热曲线、吸收、发射光谱及荧光衰减曲线.实验发现GBNB，GANB，GAYB，GABB的吸收边带逐步发生红移.由于这些吸收边带是由Bi³⁺的6s²电子到Bi⁵⁺ 6s⁰空轨道的跃迁引起.因此推断GBNB，GANB，GAYB，GABB玻璃中Bi⁵⁺离子的含量逐步增加.在GABB，GAYB，GANB三个样品中观察到发光中心约1220nm超宽带荧光发射.荧光强度从GABB，GAYB，GANB逐步减弱，荧光半高宽和荧光寿命逐步变小.这些超宽带的荧光归属为Bi⁵⁺离子的发光所致.从吸收与荧光光谱的变化，推断在GeO₂-Al₂O₃玻璃中引入BaO，Y₂O₃组分有利于Bi⁵⁺离子的形成.讨论了BaO，Y₂O₃化学组分对Bi离子在玻璃中的价态影响的内在机理. 关键词： 5+离子')" href="#">Bi⁵⁺离子 超宽带发光 吸收带 荧光寿命     

Preparation and spectral characterization of new Er3+-doped TeO2－B2O3－WO3－ZnO－ZnS glasses

Erbium-doped TeO_2-based oxysulfide glasses have been prepared in argon atmosphere in graphite crucibles. The results of thermal analysis and spectroscopic properties of Er^{3+} have been studied in terms of sulfide influence. As a function of composition, we have measured principally the optical absorption, spontaneous emission, and lifetime of the materials. Judd－Ofelt theory was introduced to calculate bandwidth and emission cross-section of Er^{3+}. The results demonstrate that addition of sulfide in tellurite glasses results in broad emission spectra, with high emission cross-section, slightly low emission lifetime and a comparatively high thermal stability as pure oxide glasses.     

Adsorption of methyl orange on mesoporous γ-Fe2O3/SiO2 nanocomposites

Mesoporous γ-Fe₂O₃/SiO₂ nanocomposite containing 30 mol% of γ-Fe₂O₃ was prepared by a template-free sol-gel method, and its removal ability for methyl orange (MO) was investigated. The nanocomposite was characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption measurements, nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, and magnetic measurements. The synthesized γ-Fe₂O₃/SiO₂ nanocomposite has a mesoporous structure with an average pore size of 3.5 nm and a specific surface area of 245 m²/g, and it exhibits ferrimagnetic characteristics with the maximum saturation magnetization of 20.9 emu/g. The adsorption of MO on the nanocomposite reaches the maximum adsorbed percentage of ca. 80% within a few minutes, showing that most of MO can be removed in a short time. The MO adsorption data fit well with both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The maximum adsorption capacity of MO is estimated to be 476 mg/g.     

Thermal properties of 3BaO–3TiO2–B2O3 glasses

Transparent glasses in the system 3BaO–3TiO₂–B₂O₃ (BTBO) were fabricated via the conventional melt-quenching technique. The as-quenched samples were confirmed to be non-crystalline by differential thermal analysis (DTA). Thermal parameters were evaluated using non-isothermal DTA experiments. The Kauzmann temperature was found to be 759 K based on heating-rate-dependent glass transition and crystallization temperatures. A theoretical relation for the temperature-dependent viscosity is proposed for these glasses and glass-ceramics.

 用高温熔融法制备了Nd³⁺(物质的量分数2％）掺杂40B₂O₃-(15-χ)Nb₂O₅-45BaO-χLa₂O₃玻璃，测量了样品的吸收光谱、发射光谱和差热分析（DTA）曲线。根据Nd3+光学跃起矩阵的特点，应用Judd-Ofelt理论，从吸收光谱获得了Nd³⁺光学跃起的强度参数。并计算了Nd³⁺离子的自发辐射跃迁几率、总自发辐射几率、荧光分支比、辐射能级寿命和受激发射截面。结果表明：该体系玻璃中，随着Nb₂O₅ 含量的增加和La₂O₃₂增大，说明材料的对称性降低；而Ω₆减小，说明Nd-O键的共价性和键强增强；受激发射截面减小。DTA实验表明，随着Nb₂O₅含量的增加，材料的热稳定性提高。     

Ce3+掺杂SiO2-Al2O3-Gd2O3玻璃的闪烁性能

通常, Ce离子掺杂的低密度玻璃有较高的发光效率, 而高密度的Ce离子掺杂玻璃其发光效率很低. 为了解释这一现象, 采用高温熔融法获得了SiO₂-Al₂O₃-Gd₂O₃三元系统的玻璃形成区, 并在还原气氛下制备了Ce³⁺掺杂SiO₂-Al₂O₃-Gd₂O₃以及SiO₂-Al₂O₃-Gd₂O₃-Ln₂O₃ (Ln=Y, La, Lu)闪烁玻璃, 研究了其光谱和闪烁性能. 测试结果显示: 随着Gd₂O₃含量增加, 玻璃紫外截止波长发生红移, 荧光强度降低, 衰减时间缩短; 加入Lu₂O₃, La₂O₃, Y₂O₃后, 紫外截止波长发生红移, 荧光强度降低, 衰减时间变短; 当Gd₂O₃超过10% mol时, X射线荧光积分光产额从相当于锗酸铋 晶体的61%降低到13%. 荧光强度降低、衰减时间缩短的原因是随着玻璃的紫外截止波长红移玻璃的能带宽度变窄, 使得Ce³⁺离子的d电子轨道开始接近玻璃的导带, Ce³⁺离子受辐射后跃迁到d电子轨道的电子会通过导带与玻璃中的空穴复合, 产生电荷迁移猝灭效应.

Preparation, characterization and dye adsorption properties of γ-Fe2O3/SiO2/chitosan composite

A γ-Fe₂O₃/SiO₂/chitosan composite was prepared by water-in-oil emulsification, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Effects of various factors, including adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, solution pH, and competing anions, on the adsorption of methyl orange from aqueous solutions by the resulting composite were studied by batch adsorption experiments. The adsorption kinetics was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and intraparticle diffusion was related to the adsorption, but not as a sole rate-controlling step. The equilibrium adsorption data were well described by the Freundlich isotherm model. Evaluation of the thermodynamic parameters ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS° revealed that the adsorption process was naturally feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic. The composite was proven to be efficient, suitable and promising for the removal of methyl orange from aqueous solutions since it has a relatively higher adsorption capacity than other low-cost adsorbents.
