Abstract

A new high calcium aluminoborate glass with a simple composition of CaOAl2O3B2O3 ( was synthesized and investigated detailedly by XRD, FT IR, UV, DSC, and PL analysis methods. The results showed that this kind of glass matrix has a good thermal stability, fine transmittance in visible light, low absorption in VU wavelength, and fine ability of molten rare earth oxide. The luminescence of Tb3+ doped glass phase showed the excitation peak s centred at 378 nm and 486 nm are assigned to the transitions of 7F66→(5D3,5G6) and 7F66→6D4 of Tb3+, respectively. The optimum doping concentration for Tb3+ was determined to be 15.6 mol% when excited by 378 nm and the luminescence of Tb3+ straight increase with the Tb3+ con centration up to 21.9 mol% without con centration quenching when excited by 486 nm The CIE chromatic coordinates, dominant wavelengths, and color purity values of Tb3+ doped glasses were determined. The effects of Si4+ and Li doping on the emission intensities of Tb 3+ were investigated. Due to this Tb3+ doped calcium aluminoborate glass can be excited by both ultraviolet and blue light, it may be an excellent luminescence material for LEDLED..
