Exploring Dy3⁺-induced spectroscopic and luminescence behavior in lead alumino-magnesium borophosphate glasses for solid-state lighting
摘要
Lead Alumino-Magnesium Borophosphate glasses doped with Dy3⁺ ions, having the composition (45 − x) B₂O₃ + 20P₂O₅ + 10Al₂O₃ + 10PbO + 15MgO + xDy₂O₃ (with x varying from 0 to 1.5 wt%), were synthesized, and their physical, structural, and optical properties were analyzed. Physical properties of the Dy3+-doped Lead Alumino-Magnesium Borophosphate glasses were estimated and confirmed their amorphous nature of the network by X-ray diffraction. The SEM–EDX spectrum confirms the glassy nature and elemental composition of the prepared glasses. The functional groups like B-O-P, PO4, and BO4 were identified through FTIR spectra. An absorption measurement was used to compute Judd–Ofelt (JO) parameters. The blue (B) and yellow (Y) emissions (4F9/2 → 6H15/2 and 4F9/2 → 6H13/2) associated with of the Dy3⁺ ions were detected. The radiative life time (τR) and branching ratio (βR) for the 4F9/2 state of the Dy3+-doped Lead Alumino-Magnesium Borophosphate glasses were estimated through JO theory, and the obtained CIE color coordinates confirm the white light emission ability of the present glasses. The decay curves exhibited a single-exponential behavior up to 0.25 wt% of Dy3+ ions incorporations, beyond that transitioning to non-exponential behavior due to the energy transfer between the doped Dy3+ ions. Observed emission parameters affirm that the Dy3⁺-doped Lead Alumino-Magnesium Borophosphate glasses hold great potential as promising materials for laser and white light applications.
