Effect of Eu3+ Ions on the Physical, Optical and Luminescence Properties of Aluminium Phosphate Glasses

Abstract

The physical, optical and luminescence properties of lithium aluminium phosphate glasses different doping europium oxide have been investigated to evaluate their properties for solid-state lighting applications. The density and molar volume measurements were carried out at room temperature. The absorption spectra were investigated in the UV-Vis-NIR region from 250 to 2500 nm. The emission spectra, excited with 394 nm excitation wavelength showed four emission transitions corresponding to 5D0→7F1 (591 nm), 5D0→7F2 (612 nm), 5D0→7F3 (648 nm) and 5D0→7F4 (698 nm). The optimal concentration of Eu2O3 in lithium aluminium phosphate glasses was 1.00 mol%.
