Abstract

Abstract: Eu 3+ ions doped Li2 O–Al2 O3 –Gd2 O3 –B2 O3 –P2 O5 glasses have been prepared by melt quenching and characterized for their physical, optical and luminescence properties. Judd-Ofelt (JO) theory is used to evaluate the oscillator strengths and the three intensity parameters (Ωλ, λ = 2, 4 and 6) of the glasses. The radiative properties such as radiative transition probabilities (AR ), radiative lifetimes (τ), branching ratios (β) and emission cross-section (σe ) have been calculated from the absorption spectra according to the JO theory. The scintillation properties of glasses could be measured by comparing emission spectrum under the X-ray induced luminescence with bismuth germanate (BGO). The Commission Internationale de l'Elcairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates (x, y) were also evaluated from the emission spectra of glasses and values of glasses take part in the red region. Highlights: The Eu 3+ ions doped Li2 O–Al2 O3 –Gd2 O3 –B2 O3 –P2 O5 glasses fabricated by the melt quenching. The highest emission intensity is 6.0 mol% of Eu 3+ ions. There is the possible energy transfer from Gd 3+ to Eu 3+ ion. The integral scintillation efficiency of Eu 6.0 mol% glass found 24% of BGO scintillator crystal.
