The polarizability and optical characteristics of zinc phosphate glasses doped terbium embedded with copper oxide nanoparticles

Tuning the concentration of nanoparticles (NPs) to accommodate wider application demanded a better understanding of the physicals and structural properties of the glass. A series of zinc phosphate glasses with the composition of (57-x) P2 O5-40ZnO-3Tb2 O3 –xCuO, (0 ≤ x ≤ 2 mol %) has been prepared b...
