Synthesis crystallization kinetic and optical properties of europium doped tellurite nano-glass

Tellurite glass of composition (80-x) TeO2 – 5 Na2O – 15 MgO – (x) Eu2O3, with the concentration region of 0 = x = 2.5 mol% was prepared using conventional melt-quenching technique. The transition temperature, Tg, crystallization temperature, Tc and melting temperature, Tm were determined using Diff...
