A series of borate glasses with the composition x(SrO)∙(50 – x)V2O5∙0.5(B2O3) where x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 were prepared by melt-quenching technique. The non-crystalline nature of the glasses has been established by XRD studies. Room temperature density and DC electrical conductivity of the samples were investigated in the temperature range of 300 K to 443 K. The molar volume and oxygen packing density (OPD) were estimated. The results show that the density, molar volume and OPD decrease with the increasing of SrO mole fraction. The DC electrical conductivity data has been analyzed in the light of Mott’s small polaron hopping (SPH) model and the activation energies were estimated. The conductivity was observed to rapidly fall and activation energy was found to increase when SrO was incorporated into the glass network. This may indicate that Sr+ ions have not contributed to the total conductivity and the observed conductivity may be of polaronic type only, which is due to the hopping of electrons between multivalent states of vanadium. Various small polaron hopping parameters such as small polaron radius, rp, effective dielectric constant, ϵp, polaron band width, J, optical phonon frequency, ʋo, small polaron coupling constant, ϒp, density of states at Fermi level, N(EF) were estimated and discussed.

Thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of X-ray irradiated pure and doped with Sm3>/sup>+ ions Li2O–MO–B sub>2O sub>3 (where MO=Z sub>nO, CaO, CdO) glasses have been studied in the temperature range of 303 to 573 K. All the pure glasses exhibited single TL peaks at 382 K, 424 K and 466 K. When these glasses were doped with Sm3+ ions no additional peaks have been observed but the glow peak temperature of the existing glow peak shifted gradually towards higher temperatures with gain in intensity of TL light output. The area under the glow curve was found to be maximum for Sm3+ doped glasses mixed with cadmium oxide as a modifier. The trap depth parameters associated with the observed TL peaks have been evaluated using Chen’s formulae. The possible use of these glasses in radiation dosimetry has been described. The results clearly showed that samarium doped cadmium borate glass has a potential to be considered as a thermoluminescence dosimeter.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of the CaB4O7 and LiCaBO3 glasses containing 0.5 and 1.0 mol.% CuO and MnO2 impurity compounds were investigated at room temperature. The glasses with CaB4O7:Cu, LiCaBO3:Cu, CaB4O7:Mn and LiCaBO3:Mn compositions were produced from the corresponding polycrystalline compounds using standard glass synthesis and technological conditions developed by the authors. The EPR spectral parameters of the Cu2+ and Mn2+ centres in both glasses containing 0.5 and 1.0 mol.% CuO and MnO2 doping oxides were determined. Analysis of EPR spectral parameters shows that Cu impurity is incorporated into the CaB4O7 and LiCaBO3 glass network as isolated Cu2+ (3d9, 2D5/2) paramagnetic ions. The Cu2+ ions occupy Ca(Li) sites of the borate glass network coordinated by six O2− anions with geometry of elongated octahedron (D4h symmetry) due to the Jahn- -Teller effect. The EPR spectra of the Mn-doped CaB4O7 and LiCaBO3 glasses are virtually identical and typical of all oxide glasses activated with Mn2+ (3d5, 6S5/2) ions. Observed EPR spectra in the Mn-doped glasses were attributed to isolated Mn2+ (1) centres (geff ≅ 4.3) in octahedral Ca(Li) sites with a strong (fully) rhombic distortion, isolated Mn2+ (2) centres (geff ≅ 2.0) in octahedral Ca(Li) sites with nearly cubic local symmetry as well as pairs and small clusters of the Mn2+ ions, coupled by magnetic dipolar and exchange interactions. On the basis of the obtained results and analysis of referenced data, the local structure of the Cu2+ and Mn2+ centres in the borate glasses have been proposed.

A series of undoped borate glasses: Li2B4O7, LiKB4O7, LiB3O5, SrB4O7, and LiCaBO3 of high optical quality and chemical purity were obtained from the corresponding polycrystalline compounds using standard glass synthesis under technological conditions developed by the authors. The glasses were obtained by rapid cooling of molten crystalline material, which was heated to 100 K above the melting point to prevent crystallization and to exceed the glass transition point. The X-ray diffraction intensity profiles of the investigated glasses were typical of glassy compounds. The most typical intensity profile, consisting of almost symmetrical peaks, was observed in the case of Li2B4O7 and LiB3O5. Substitution and partial substitution of Li atoms by Sr and Ca atoms was accompanied by significant changes in the intensity profiles of the investigated glasses. Pair correlation functions and structural parameters (average interatomic distances and coordination number to oxygen) of the investigated glasses were evaluated and analyzed. Structural peculiarities of the investigated borate glasses are discussed in comparison with structural data available for their crystalline analogs.

Optical absorption, luminescence excitation, and emission spectra as well as luminescence kinetics of the Sm- and Yb-doped glasses with lithium tetraborate (Li2B4O7) composition were investigated and analysed. The Sm- and Yb-doped lithium tetraborate glasses of high optical quality were obtained in air from corresponding polycrystalline compounds according to standard glass synthesis technology. The Sm and Yb impurities were added to the Li2B4O7 compound in the form of Sm2O3 and Yb2O3 oxides in amount of 0.4 mol%. Using optical and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy it was shown that the Sm and Yb impurities are incorporated into the lithium tetraborate glass network as Sm3+ (4f5, 6H5/2) and Yb3+ (4f13, 2F7/2) ions, exclusively. All of the observed transitions in the absorption and luminescence spectra of Sm3+ and Yb3+ centres were identified. The luminescence kinetics of the Sm3+ and Yb3+ centres in the Li2B4O7 glass are characterised by a single exponential decay. Decay constants for the main emission transitions of the Sm3+ and Yb3+ centres in the lithium tetraborate glass were obtained at T = 300 K. Incorporation peculiarities and optical spectra of Sm3+ and Yb3+ ions in the lithium tetraborate glass have been discussed in comparison with other borate glasses and crystals.
