Optical properties of ultraphosphate glasses containing mixed divalent zinc and magnesium ions
Ternary zinc magnesium ultraphosphate glasses corresponding to (ZnO)x(MgO)30−x(P2O5)70 were prepared by melt quenching technique in the range of 5 ⩽ x ⩽ 20 mol%. The optical absorption spectra of the glasses were measured at room temperature in the wavelength range between 190 and 1100 nm, and the r...
