The effect of modifiers on the fluorescence and life-time of Gd3+ ions doped in borate glasses.
The effect of glass modifiers on the fluorescence and life time of the 6P(7/2) energy state of the Gd3+ ion has been investigated. A shift in the energy of maximum of the fluorescence has been observed. The results are explained on the basis of the relative cation and anion field strengths due to modifiers. A variation in the life-time of the 6P7.2 energy state of the Gd3 ion has also been noted.
