Abstract
The influence of the atmosphere used in glass synthesis and dopants on X-ray luminescence of fluorohafnate glasses in the HfF4–BaF2–Ce(La)F3–AlF3–NaF–InF3 system is investigated. Upon introduction of certain oxides, the X-ray luminescence spectrum exhibits a broad band with a maximum at 360 nm. A similar band appears in the spectra in the case when the glasses are synthesized under reducing conditions. The appearance of the 360-nm luminescence band is observed both in the spectra of glasses activated by cerium and in the spectra of nonactivated glasses. It is assumed that the appearance of this band is associated with the formation of Hf3+ ions and fluorine vacancies in the glass under investigation.
