This paper reports the influence of antimony ions and Sb₂O₃ reduced Ag⁰ on the magnetic and Faraday rotation of diamagnetic glasses for the first time. High Verdet constant diamagnetic glasses with compositions of xSb₂O₃–(15–x)B₂O₃–35PbO–45Bi₂O₃–2Ag₂O–3ZnO were fabricated and characterized. Ag nanoparticles were realized in glass using Sb₂O₃ as reducing agent through single-step melting quenching technique. The structure, spectral along with optical, magnetic and Faraday rotation properties were investigated through XRD, FT-IR, Raman, XPS, UV-VIS, luminescence and VSM measurements. Due to the big optical basicity of glass matrix and the reducing property of Sb₂O₃, Ag⁺ ions were reduced to Ag⁰ accompanied with the conversion from Sb³⁺ to Sb⁵⁺. Raman spectra revealed the presence of SbO₃, BiO₃, PbO₄, and BO₃, BO₄ units in glasses, with the increase of Sb₂O₃, Ag-O and B-O vibration decreased and 10-15% Sb₂O₃ doped samples crystallized into ceramics. XPS analysis displays the co-existence and evolutions of antimony and silver species as a function of Sb₂O₃ content. SPR absorption peaks of Ag nanoparticles in glasses red-shifted from 525nm to 600nm, indicating the aggregation of Ag nanoparticles into bigger sized Ag₃ clusters which present emission peaks around 560nm. The electron transitions between Sb³⁺ and Sb⁵⁺ show emission around 560nm while Sb⁵⁺ ions show emission at 800nm. All glasses exhibited diamagnetic properties due to the diamagnetic character of glass matrix and doping ions. Both the high polarizability of diamagnetic Sb³⁺&Sb⁵⁺ and Ag⁰ SPR effects contributed to an enhancement of Faraday rotation of glasses, the 3%Sb₂O₃ doped glass showed the highest Verdet constant of 0.2047min/G.cm at 594nm which therefore might be an attractive candidate for magneto optical device applications.

本文首次报道了锑离子和Sb ₂ O ₃还原的Ag ⁰对反磁性玻璃的磁性和法拉第旋转的影响。高维尔德常数的反磁性眼镜XSB的组合物₂ ö ₃ - （15-x）B ₂ ö ₃ -35PbO-45Bi ₂ ö ₃ -2Ag ₂ O形3ZnO被制造和表征。使用Sb ₂ O ₃在玻璃中实现了银纳米颗粒通过一步熔融淬火技术还原为还原剂。通过XRD，FT-IR，拉曼，XPS，UV-VIS，发光和VSM测量研究了结构，光谱以及光学，磁性和法拉第旋转特性。由于玻璃基体的强光学碱性和Sb ₂ O ₃的还原性能，伴随着Sb ³⁺向Sb ⁵⁺的转化，Ag ⁺离子被还原为Ag ⁰。拉曼光谱表明，随着Sb ₂ O的增加，玻璃中存在SbO ₃，BiO ₃，PbO ₄和BO ₃，BO ₄单元。_{如图3所示}，Ag-O和BO的振动降低，并且10-15％的Sb ₂ O ₃掺杂的样品结晶成陶瓷。XPS分析显示锑和银物种共存和演变与Sb ₂ O ₃含量的关系。玻璃中的银纳米颗粒的SPR吸收峰从525nm红移到600nm，表明银纳米颗粒聚集到更大尺寸的Ag ₃簇中，在560nm附近出现了发射峰。Sb ³⁺和Sb ⁵⁺之间的电子跃迁在560nm处发射，而Sb ⁵⁺离子在800nm处显示发射。由于玻璃基质和掺杂离子的抗磁特性，所有玻璃均表现出抗磁特性。抗磁性Sb ³⁺和Sb ⁵⁺的高极化率以及Ag ⁰ SPR效应都有助于增强玻璃的法拉第旋转，掺杂3％Sb ₂ O _3的玻璃在594nm处显示出最高的Verdet常数，为0.2047min / G.cm。因此对于磁光器件的应用可能是一个有吸引力的候选者。
