Summary: This paper investigates the characterizations of Ce2O3-doped sodium magnesium borosilicate glasses, focusing on their structural, optical, and thermoluminescence properties. Different analytical techniques were used to study the effects of Ce2O3 concentration on the glasses, with the glass containing 0.2 mol% Ce2O3 showing outstanding thermoluminescence intensity and linear response under gamma exposure. This glass has potential applications in dosimetry.

Summary: In this study, the emission peak of europium (Eu) ions in borosilicate glasses is tuned by adjusting the SiO2 to B2O3 ratio and the concentration of Eu ion dopants. It is observed that the emission peak can be redshifted by increasing the content of SiO2 or by introducing Eu2O3. Cyan emission is achieved by altering the [SiO4] tetrahedra, [BO4] tetrahedra, and [BO3] triangles within the glass. The results highlight the relationship between glass network structure, Eu ion concentration, and visible light emission.

Summary: Glasses doped with terbium oxide show phase separation, with borate-rich droplets surrounded by a silicate matrix. The structural changes during phase separation and the local sites of the luminescent ions are investigated using scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The luminescence properties of the phase separated glasses are correlated with their nano-and microstructure.

Summary: This study investigates the thermal conductivity of densified soda lime borosilicate glasses with varying B2O3/SiO2 ratio. The results show an increase in thermal conductivity upon densification, with the degree of increase depending on the composition of the glass. Silica-rich glasses exhibit a minor increase, while borate-rich glasses exhibit a significant increase. The findings provide insights into the linkages between structure and thermal conductivity.

Summary: In multicomponent borosilicate glasses with different amounts of Samarium oxide, the excitation/emission peaks of Sm3+/Sm2+ and the shape of the spectral bands undergo clear changes depending on the wavelength. Even at low concentrations, the luminescence decay follows non-exponential behavior and tends to evolve with registration wavelength. The presence of distinguishable Sm3+/Sm2+ local sites in the glass matrix studied could explain these phenomena.

Summary: Novel shielding glasses with different CeO2 concentrations were fabricated and studied for their luminescent and radiation shielding properties. The glasses showed redshift in UV range due to higher Ce concentration, with emission bands observed from Ce3+ ion. The glasses exhibited good X-ray shielding behavior and potential applications in radiation shielding and UV emitting devices.

Summary: Eu2+-doped SiO2-SrO-B2O3 glasses exhibit broad luminescence band with 0.4 mol% Eu2+ being the optimum doping concentration. The absorption and emission spectra show redshift with increasing Eu2+ concentration, while concentration quenching occurs due to electric dipole-dipole interaction. The luminescence intensity decreases with increasing temperature and the chromaticity shift is lower than Eu2+-doped commercial phosphors.

Summary: This study discusses the impact of sunlight on stability and optical properties of borosilicate glasses doped with NiO synthesized via melt quenching approach. It was found that the average density and molar volume decrease with higher NiO doping, leading to decreased stability under sunlight irradiation. However, glass samples with 1% NiO content showed the lowest degradation percentage under sunlight, indicating the highest stability compared to other samples.

Summary: In this study, energy transfer dependent photoemission properties of Dy3+ and Pr3+ ions co-doped in fluoro-borosilicate glasses were investigated. The results showed that energy transfer can occur from Pr3+ to Dy3+ and from Dy3+ to Pr3+, with the dipole-dipole interaction governing the nonradiative energy transfer from Dy3+ to Pr3+. The investigated glass systems have the potential to be used in multicolor emitting devices under UV light.

Summary: This paper investigates the influence of bismuth cations on the structural and optical properties of borosilicate glass doped with NiO. The addition of Bi2O3 results in the appearance of an absorption band at 380 nm, which overlaps with the Urbach edge. Furthermore, the values of the nonlinear third-order susceptibility and nonlinear refractive index increase with Bi2O3 doping, enhancing the stability and optical band gap of the BiBaNiB-glasses for practical applications.

Summary: The incorporation limit of MoO3 in borosilicate glass is correlated with the local structure of molybdenum cations. In the low-B region, the incorporation limit is lower and molybdenum cations exist mainly as [MoO4]2-. However, in the high-B region, the incorporation limit is higher and octahedrally coordinated molybdenum cations are present.

Summary: The addition of alkali ions lowers the yield stress and changes the pressure dependence of shear modulus in multicomponent borosilicate glasses. Shear-induced densification is observed in both glasses, with 5-coordinated Si being the dominant mechanism for densification at high pressures. Boron atoms tend to experience plastic deformation in Borofloat 33, while plastic deformation occurs around alkali-rich regions in N-BK7, indicating different atomic-scale deformation mechanisms in these two glasses.

Summary: This study investigates defects induced by gamma irradiation in lithium sodium-borosilicate and sodium barium-borosilicate glasses, revealing the formation of common defects such as peroxy radicals, which are found to be the most thermally-stable. The influence of glass composition on the segregation of sodium and the possible formation of metal colloids upon irradiation are also discussed.
