Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of glass composition on the electrical conductivity and dielectric permittivity of Eu-activated Pb-containing fluoroaluminate glasses is studied. The Arrhenius plots of resistivity in the range 383–653 K are used to evaluate the activation energy for conduction, which is found to decrease with increasing PbF2 content. The results are interpreted as evidence that the glass network undergoes drastic structural changes as the PbF2 content increases to above 15 mol %. The induced-absorption band around 780 nm, due to radiation-produced defects incorporating Pb2+, O2–, and F– ions, is shown to be sensitive to the glass-network-forming behavior of Pb. The introduction of Eu2O3 suppresses this induced absorption, indicating that the color centers responsible for it have an electronic nature.
