Abstract

The most hosts that is utilized in scientific application is borate glass. By using melt-quenching technique, five samples of lithium potassium borate (LKB) doped with different concentration of europium oxide (Eu2O 3) were prepared. To investigate the influence of dopant on the optical and physical characteristics of the proposed glass, two methods have been applied (XRD, PL). The amorphous nature was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The physical parameters of the glass matrix doped by different oxidation state have been analyzed, these parameters are density, molar volume, ion concentration, inter-nuclear distance, and polaron radius. The exchange in the concentration of Eu3+ indicated the influence of Eu as a dopant on the photoluminescence (PL) emission of LKB glasses. The emission spectrum of LKB:Eu3+ show a chain of emission bands, which are attributed to 5 D0-7 Fr (r = 1-4) transition of Eu3+. The luminescence studies showed four peaks 590 (yellow), 613 (orange), 650 (red), and 698 nm (red) for all samples except sample 0, the high luminescence efficiency is in emitting orange light at 613 nm.
