The introduction of little neodymium has no effect on the crystallization manner and the formation of main crystallization phase, but more neodymium will weaken the crystallization of LAS glass. Little neodymium can increase the glossiness of LAS glass ceramic, while more neodymium can color LAS glass with light purple or red purple. The colorability of neodymium for LAS glass ceramic decreases with the increase of crystallization temperature.展开更多
This paper reports on different physical and optical properties of Nd3+-doped bismuth borate glasses.

The glasses containing Nd3+ in (25 - x)Bi2O3:20Li2O:20ZnO:35B2O3:xNd2O3 (where x = 1, 1.5, 2 mol%) have been prepared by melt-quenching method. The amorphous nature of the glasses was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The physical parameters like dielectric constant, refractive index, ionic concentration, oxygen-packing density, inter ionic distance, polaronradius, reflection loss, energy gap, molar refractivity, molar polarizability, electronic polarizability, optical basicity and field strength are computed. On the basis of the measured values of the density and refractive index, the Nd3+ ion concentration in glasses, the polarizability of oxide ions and optical basicity were theoretically determined. The theoretical value of average electronic polarizability and oxide ion polarizability were calculated by using Lorentz-Lorenz formula. Theoretical optical basicity of the glasses is evaluated based on equation proposed by Duffy and Ingram. The metallization criterion has also been calculated on the basis of refractive index and energy gap. The large value of metallization criterion indicates that the glass materials are insulators. The results obtained predict the nature of bonding in the present glasses and provide basis for developing new nonlinear optical material.展开更多
