Ce3+,Eu3+ and Tb3+ singly doped and Ce3+/Eu3+ and Ce3+/Tb3+ co-doped zinc phosphate glasses were prepared by sintering P2O5,ZnO,Ce2(C2O4)3·10H2O and Eu2O3/Tb4O7 mixtures at 1200 °C in the air for 2 h and then annealing at 450 °C for 10 h.The obtained glasses were homogeneous and transparent.The glasses without Ce3+ were colorless and those with Ce3+ showed slightly yellow.The singly doped glasses showed strong emissions and excitations from doped trivalent rare earth ions.Strong energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+ was observed for Ce3+/Tb3+ coped samples.There were also some very weak evidences for the energy transfer from Ce3+ to Eu3+.
Lead borate glasses xB2O3+(99-x)PbO+0.5Eu2O3(x=70,60,...,10) were prepared by melt-quenching method.The luminescent properties were characterized with excitation and emission spectra.The emission intensities for 5D0-7FJ(J=0-4) were analyzed to give variation of the relative electric dipole line strengths with the composition of glasses so as to examine the crucial implicit assumption of independent electric dipole line strength on the composition of glass in the Phys.Rev.Lett.2003,91,203903 paper studying local-field effect.
