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 the Tb- and Dy-doped glasses with Li2O-2B2O3 (or Li2B4O7:Tb and Li2B4O7:Dy) composition were synthesised and their spectroscopic properties were investigated. The Li2B4O7:Tb and Li2B4O7:Dy glasses of high chemical purity and optical quality were obtained from corresponding polycrystalline compounds in the air using standard glass technology. The Tb and Dy impurities were added to Li2B4O7 composition in the form of Tb2O3 and Dy2O3 oxide compounds in amounts of 0.5 and 1.0 mol%. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), luminescence excitation and emission spectra of the Li2B4O7:Tb and Li2B4O7:Dy glasses were investigated. On the basis of EPR and photoluminescence spectra analysis it was shown that the Tb and Dy impurities are incorporated in the Li2B4O7 glass network as Tb3+ (4f8, 7F6) and Dy3+ (4f9, 6H15/2) ions, exclusively. All observed transitions of the Tb3+ and Dy3+ centres in the luminescence excitation and emission spectra were identified. The luminescence kinetics shows single exponential decay for Tb3+ and Dy3+ centres in Li2B4O7 glasses. The lifetime values for main emission transitions of the Tb3+ and Dy3+ centres in the Li2B4O7 glasses containing 0.5 and 1.0 mol% Tb2O3 and Dy2O3 are determined at T = 300 K. Peculiarities of optical properties and local structure of the Tb3+ and Dy3+ centres in the Li2B4O7:Tb and Li2B4O7:Dy glasses as well as their potential applications have been discussed.

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.
