Design and Manufacturing of a Nd-Doped Phosphate Glass-Based Jewel

This paper reports the results of the designing, manufacturing and characterization of a jewel obtained by means of coupling the dogmas of industrial design to the analytical engineering approach. The key role in the design of the jewel was played by an in-house synthesized Neodymium (Nd)-doped phosphate glass, selected due to its easy handling and capability to change color according to the incident light wavelength. The glass core was covered by a metal alloy to mitigate its relatively high...

Structural and spectral characterisation of Er3+ and Nd3+ doped Ga-La-S-Se glasses

In this work, the spectroscopy of Er3+ and Nd3+ doped Se-GLS glasses was studied. A structural comparison between doped and non-doped samples was done to assess the differences between the glasses. For this comparison, Raman spectroscopy and thermal analysis were employed. The spectral properties of the samples were studied in order to identify the mechanisms responsible for quenching the fluorescence lifetime of the dopants. In particular, cross-relaxation and concentration quenching were ob...

Comparative spectroscopic approach for the dye loading optimization of sheet-like ZnO photoanodes for dye-sensitized solar cells

The peculiarly critical sensitization of zinc oxide with Ru-based dyes is the serious problem that prevents this semiconductor oxide from achieving photoconversion efficiencies in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) comparable to those obtained with TiO2. Within this framework, methodologies for the optimization of the sensitization procedure of this material in acidic environments prove to be essential. In this paper, in view of streamlining the critical sensitization procedure of sheet-li...

Toward the fabrication of extruded microstructured bioresorbable phosphate glass optical fibers

The steps toward the fabrication of directly extruded microstructured fiber preforms made of a bioresorbable phosphate glass are herein presented, analyzing the features of the process from the glass synthesis to the manufacturing of the fiber. The realization of these fibers leverages on three main pillars: an optically transparent bioresorbable glass, its extrusion into a preform, and the fiber drawing. The glass has been designed and carefully prepared in our laboratory to be dissolvable i...

Effect of the addition of Al2O3, TiO2 and ZnO on the thermal, structural and luminescence properties of Er3+-doped phosphate glasses

Er-doped phosphate glasses were fabricated by melt-quenching technique. The changes in their thermal, structural and luminescence properties with the addition of Al2O3, TiO2 or ZnO were studied. Physical and thermal properties were investigated through density measurement and differential thermal analysis. Structural characterization was performed using the Raman and Infrared spectroscopy. In order to study the influence of the composition on the luminescence properties of the glasses, the re...
