Item type:Publication, Eu3+ Doped Na2O-Gd2O3-BaO-B2O3-P2O5 glasses for x-ray scintillator application(2023-11-01) ;Khrongchaiyaphum, F. ;Wantana, N. ;Kansirin, S. ;Pakawanit, P.The Na<inf>2</inf>O-BaO-B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf> doped with varying concentrations of Gd<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> and Na<inf>2</inf>O-Gd<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-BaO-B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf> glasses were doped with varying concentrations of Eu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> (referred to as Eu:NGBaPB) and prepared using the melt-quenching technique. These glasses were analyzed comprehensively in the physical, optical, chemical groups and photo-/radio- luminescence properties. Furthermore, the X-ray imaging was operated to indicate the practical radiation detection of glass. The addition of Eu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>, the density and refractive index of Eu:NGBaPB glasses increased, while the molar volume decreased. The glass exhibited photon absorption in the UV-NIR regions. Excitation from various sources such as X-ray, ultraviolet, and visible light resulted in a reddish-orange emission at approximately 613 nm, originating from the <sup>5</sup>D<inf>0</inf>→<sup>7</sup>F<inf>2</inf> radiation state of Eu<sup>3+</sup>. Energy transfer occurred from Gd<sup>3+</sup> to Eu<sup>3+</sup> within the glass. These findings highlight the intriguing potential of the glass for applications as an X-ray scintillator.2
