Physical, structural and optical properties of erbium doped tellurite glass with copper oxide nanoparticles embedment

Two series of glass with composition of (70–x)TeO2 – 10ZnO – 10MgO – 10 Na2O – (x)Er2O3 where 0.0 =x = 2.0 mol% and (69–y)TeO2 – 10ZnO – 10MgO – 10Na2O – 1Er2O3 – (y)CuO where 0.05 = y = 1.50 mol% are prepared using melt quenching technique. The physical properties are measured in terms of glass den...
