The linear optical behaviours were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, and besides the different linear optical parameters such as refractive index and optical bandgap, optical conductivity was estimated. Excitation and emission spectra of the harvested glasses were characterized using a Photoluminescence spectrophotometer. Rare earth - R.E (Yb3+ and Ce3+) doped both glasses have greater emission efficiency due to their 2F7/2 -* 2F5/2 (951 nm) and 5d1 -* 2F5/2, 2F7/2 (550 and 663 nm) electronic transitions, which shows that the as-prepared glass materials have their potential applications.

Photocatalysis has a significant role in water remediation. During the process of photocatalysis, catalysts face different problems, such as instability and inefficiency. Here, we are introducing a new method, 'nonlinearity kinetics', which will help to identify this kind of problem during photocatalytic activity. We are considering Ag3PO4@TiO2 to study nonlinear disorder kinetics. Ag3PO4 is a highly photoactive compound with an inherent photocorrossive nature. Here, it addresses the challenge of pure Ag3PO4 by transforming composite materials to Ag3PO4@TiO2 and by studying its nonlinear kinetics during photocatalysis. The Ag3PO4@TiO2 underwent preliminary characterisation. Increment of crystalline nature studied through XRD. FESEM and TEM analysed morphological alignment and diffraction patterns. The functional behaviour of oxygen, Ag, Ti and P-O-P were identified through the FT-IR spectra. The reduced optical band gap Ag3PO4@TiO2 was 2.9 eV Obtained from the UV-visible spectra. Photocatalysis activity was performed, and newly introduced disorder kinetics were observed. The nonlinear fit of the kinetics shows a shift over time (intercept value of linear fit -0.27) that indicates the corrosive characteristics. For an efficient catalyst, this value must be equivalent to zero. The photocorrossive disorder kinetics study demonstrates the disorder and nonlinearity of the catalyst and catalytic medium when it does not fit with a linear fit. To identify a disorder, it is important to look at the disorder kinetics of analysis.

Powder-XRD verified its amorphous nature, FTIR shows the existence of large phosphate functional groups, Optical properties such as band gap energy was calculated by acquiring absorption spectra covering the UV, Vis, and NIR ranges. Obtained 3.02 eV optical band gap energy. The refractive index changing with increasing energy. Three peaks in the PL spectra corresponded to Ho3+ transitions: I-5(8 )-> 5G6 , I-5(8 )-> K-3(8) , and (5)I8 -> F-5(3) . The glass conducted theoretical studies for radiation shielding properties based on several key parameters. Gamma radiation shielding parameters, including Mean Free path (MFP), Effective atomic number (Z(eff)), linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), and mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), were obtained with the use of the Phy-X program. MAC data show that when Compton scattering (CS) fluctuates in the intermediate photon energy zone (E >3MeV), the area of prominence of CS diminishes. They can cause pair production at higher energies, Compton scattering at intermediate energies, and the photoelectric effect at lower energies. The MFP values of glasses doped with HoAlSr- phosphate glass were shorter, indicating a higher level of shielding efficacy. In this study we are focusing on optical properties changes with presence of Holmium ions and its shielding property using Phy-x software. In this research discovered that the synthetic material has high shielding qualities and can be a valuable shield in environments where X-rays are present. So it will be beneficial at X-ray prompted environment.

In this study, manganese ion was used as a dopant to improve the electrochemical characteristics of SrO 3 –BaCO 3 –B 2 O 3 , a manganese-based cathode material. Manganese-doped strontium barium borate (MSBB) glass was synthesized using the melt quenching procedure. UV–Vis spectroscopy was used to investigate linear optical characteristics such as optical band-gap energy ( E g ), extinction coefficient ( k ), refractive index ( n ) and, optical and electrical conductivity. Furthermore, spectroscopy was employed to determine the existence of Mn 2+ and Mn 3+ oxidation states of manganese oxide in the glass composition. The dielectric characteristics ( ε r and tan δ ) and ac conductivity (σ ac ) were examined at 30°C in the frequency range of 100 Hz to 5 MHz, and the space charge polarisation is dominant at the lower frequency domain, resulting in a high dielectric constant. The increase in frequency was accompanied by an increase in ac conductivity over shorter distances, which might be explained by the mobility carrier hopping process.

A number of researchers have reported on the thermoluminescence (TSL) properties of many borates activated with rare earths and transition metal ions. However, there are not many reports that pinpoint the role and chemical nature of the gamma induced radicals. Further, there are even fewer reports highlighting the multifunctional characteristics of a single TSL phosphor. In this work, we showcase SrB4O7 doped with Dy3+ for the dual role of white light emitting as well as a TSL dosimetric material. We did the PL/TSL/EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) correlation studies in order to identify the active luminescent centers, the trap parameters and the chemical nature of the radicals responsible for the phenomena. By doing a systematic study on a series of Dy3+ (1-10 mol %) doped samples, we optimized the composition. Colorimetric studies on the optimized sample revealed that it had intense near white light emission with 38.1% color purity when excited by UV-C light (247 nm). The same sample also showed a linear gamma dose response up to 1600 Gy (J/kg). A detailed EPR investigation confirmed the role of a borate based radical in the observed TSL process. We believe that the material can be a good candidate for real life application as a multifunctional material.

Four Li-Al-Si-O-based ceramic compounds with varying Si to Li ratios were synthesized via a high-temperature reaction route and characterized by X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence techniques. Eu was used as an activator in these four compositions namely, LiAlSiO4, LiAlSi2O6, LiAlSi3O8, and LiAlSi4O10, and the radiative properties were evaluated. The activator concentration was optimized in all these samples to 2 mol%. The photoluminescence emission intensity and decay time values increased with the Si to Li ratio. The relative intensities of the emission spectra and the lifetime values indicated that the rare earth ion stabilizes itself at interstitial positions in the lattice having approximately C-2v symmetry. The chromaticity indices for the four ceramic samples doped with Eu were calculated that showed near red emission for all. To get an idea about their commercial utility, color purity, quantum efficiencies for the phosphors were evaluated. The emission profile of the prepared samples was compared with a commercial sample. The Judd-Ofelt parameters, transition probabilities, branching ratios, and quantum efficiencies were also calculated for these systems. It was observed that the metal-ligand bond covalency decreased with an increase in the Si to Li ratio which was responsible for the increase in the emission intensities and luminescence decay time values.
