Synthesis, optical and cathodoluminescent properties of borosilicate glass doped with Eu3+
Source abstract
Abstract
The purpose of this work is development of glasses for radioactive materials encapsulation. Borosilicate-based glass systems “R7/T7” (B 2O 3-ЅіO 2-Al 2O 3-Na 2O-СaO) doped with Eu 3+, with various concentrations of activator were studied. The composition of the obtained glasses was investigated using electron-probe microanalysis technique. Optical properties of glasses were investigated using the following methods – cathodoluminescence, photoluminescence and absorption spectra. The range of the optimal activator concentration was determined. Samples of borosilicate glass (B 2O 3-ЅіO 2-Al 2O 3-Na 2O-СaO) doped with varied content of Eu 3+ were synthesized and studied using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and optical techniques such as cathodoluminescence (CL), photoluminescence (PL) and light absorption spectroscopy. Glass composition was related to development of nuclear waste form or encapsulation matrix with sufficient resistance to radiation damage. It was observed that electron beam irradiation suppresses intensity of glass cathodoluminescence and this process is correlated with sodium diffusion outside irradiated area at comparable interval of time.
