The glassy systems acquired much concern for using in diverse implementations. For this cause, different concentrations of samarium oxide co-doped lithium magnesium borate erbium oxide were prepared by the melt-quench technique. Several physical and optical properties of all prepared glass samples were computed. XRD patterns for all prepared samples show the presence of a broad peak and the lack of sharp peaks emphasize the amorphous nature of all prepared glass samples. FTIR confirms the presence of the functional group BO3 and BO4. Ten considerable absorption bands are evident in the UV–Vis–NIR spectra of the S0 glass sample which are attributed to the presence of Er3+ ions. S1–S4 samples revealed additional six peaks that are attributed to Sm3+ ions. In addition, photon and neutron shielding features were evaluated for all prepared samples which enhanced by the increment of Sm3+ contents. In conclusion, the studied glass composition can be useful in several applications such as solid-state laser, telecommunication, and radiation shielding.

共掺杂 Sm2O3 的 Li2O-B2O3-MgO-Er2O3 玻璃的物理、光学和屏蔽特性

玻璃系统在不同的实现中得到了很多关注。为此，采用熔融淬火技术制备了不同浓度的氧化钐共掺杂锂镁硼酸铒氧化物。计算了所有制备的玻璃样品的几个物理和光学特性。所有制备的样品的 XRD 图案显示存在一个宽峰，而没有尖锐的峰强调了所有制备的玻璃样品的无定形性质。FTIR 确认了官能团 BO3 和 BO4 的存在。SO 玻璃样品的 UV-Vis-NIR 光谱中有 10 个明显的吸收带，这归因于 Er3+ 离子的存在。S1–S4 样品显示了另外六个归因于 Sm3+ 离子的峰。此外，评估了所有制备的样品的光子和中子屏蔽特性，这些特性随着 Sm3+ 含量的增加而增强。总之，所研究的玻璃成分可用于多种应用，例如固态激光器、电信和辐射屏蔽。
