Spectroscopic characterisation of local structure in Y2O3–B2O3–Bi2O3 glasses doped with gadolinium

Simon, S. | Eniu, D.
Gadolinium doped bismuth borate glasses containing up to 30 mol% Y₂O₃ were prepared by fast melt quenching method. The effect of yttrium on the local order in 3B₂O₃ · Bi₂O₃ and B₂O₃ · Bi₂O₃ glass matrices, particularly on the bismuth sites, was investigated by infrared (IR) spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of Gd³⁺ ions. The IR results show that the local structure is more ordered in the glass system with higher bismuth content and the progressive addition of yttrium increases the local disorder in both bismuth–borate glass matrices. The EPR results indicate that Gd³⁺ ions occupy both bismuth and yttrium sites and reflect the same structural disorder like that suggested by IR results.
