Cobalt-Doped Zinc-Borate Glasses: Preparation and Spectral Properties

  • Published:
Glass and Ceramics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

New glassy materials in the system ZnO–B2O3:CoO system were obtained. The physicochemical and spectral properties of zinc borate glass doped with cobalt in the composition range 45 to 70 wt.% ZnO. The influence of the glass matrix on the coordination state of Co2+ ions is shown. Intense absorption bands in the visible range are attributed to the transitions 4A2(F) → 2A1(G), 4A2(F) → 4T1(P), and 4A2(F) → 2E(2G). An absorption band attributable to the electronic transition 4A2(4F) → 4T1(4F) of cobalt in tetrahedral coordination was found in the near-IR range (1.3 – 1.7 μm).
