▼ [11p-N104-9] Study of the Boson peak and correlation to structural variations in tellurite glasses
Keywords:tellurite glasses, low-frequency Raman spectroscopy, Nd3+ doping
Tellurium oxide-based glasses have a lot of interests due to their specific physical and chemical properties such as high refractive index, wide band infrared transmittance and large third order non-linear optical susceptibility. This work is focused on 80TeO2-xZnO-(20-x)Na2O (TZN) ternary glassy system doped with Nd3+ ion and without doping. This oral presentation will correlate the evolution of the correlation length given from a boson peak in Raman spectra (called here Blob size) and the results from XAFS experiment to show the influence of Nd3+ ions doping on the TZN network, which shows a total difference in evolution with an increase of the ZnO concentration (overall decrease of the blob size when doped compared to an increase when non-doped).
