Abstract

Recent technological applications have generated more interest in the studies of different types of glasses. The wide applications of glasses take place due to their interesting properties such as low thermal expansion, high softening temperature, high resistance to chemical attack, high refractive index with low dispersion and mechanical strength. Eu2O3 doped borate glasses were successfully synthesized by melt quenching method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra revealed that these glasses had amorphous nature. Optical properties of prepared samples were characterized by photoluminescence studies. The dielectric properties of glass samples were studied for different frequencies and different temperatures.

Key words: Glass, melt quenching method, europium oxide, X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence and dielectric studies.
