The effect of phosphorus and copper oxide on the photoluminescence characteristics of li2co3-k2co3-h3bo3 glass

Abstract

In this paper, glass sample was prepared by the conventional wet chemical method. A series of borate glass consists of lithium and potassium carbonate doped with 0.1 mol% of NH4H2PO4 and copper oxides have been well prepared. The structural and the optical properties of the glass have been measured by means of their XRD, FTIR, PL and UV-VIS spectra. From the results, the current sample shows a nonlinear optical property by emitting two prominent peaks at 504 and 540 nm (green light emission) under the excitation of 630 nm. A significant enhancement on the PL spectra due to increment of phosphorus impurities dopant has also been observed. Some other physical parameters were also been measured and identified. The results of structural as well as the optical were then being estimated and discussed.
