Melt-Quenched Pure and Neodymium-Doped AlCOB Glasses: A Study of Optical and Structural Properties

Pure AlCOB and Nd:AlCOB glasses with compositions xNd 2 O 3 -(1-x)Al 2 O 3 -8CaO-3B 2 O 3 (x = 0 and 0.05) were prepared by the melt-quenching method and characterized by XRD, EDAX, FTIR, DTA, UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy, photoluminescence and Z-scan measurements. XRD confirmed the a...
