Abstract
The photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray induced luminescence properties of Ce-doped barium borate glasses prepared from different precursor materials have been investigated. Oxidation of Ce3+ takes place during the melting process performed using a pre-vitrified non-doped glass. Residual groups originated from the precursor materials, such as fluorine atoms and OH groups, are found to affect the optical and emission properties of the glasses. Moreover, both the PL and the X-ray induced luminescence properties of the glasses depend on the precursor materials used for their synthesis. Based on a thorough analysis of the emission properties, we conclude that the best synthesis conditions involve melting a batch containing Ce(CH3COO)3·H2O, BaCO3, and B2O3 in Ar atmosphere.
