[en] Full text: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation raises interest due to its potential damage to human health but also its use in biological applications. UV radiation is divided in three bands, in which UV-A (315-400 nm) composes the highest portion that hits the earth surface while most of UV-B (315-280 nm) and UV-C (280-100) are absorbed by the earth’s atmosphere. Glass-based scintillators have been viewed as a reliable, lighter, more efficient and lower cost alternative to crystals, for measuring UV radiation. In this work we develop a new composition of fluorophosphates glasses doped with dysprosium and europium ions and characterize their scintillating potential. The glasses are obtained by the melt quenching technique, with the composition 35NaPO₃ - 30Ba(PO₃)₂ - 25MgF₂ -( 10- x)YF₃ – x[EuF₃ or Dy₂O₃] with x = 0.0; 0.1; 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0 and 4.0 mol% EuF₃, or x = 0.0; 0.25; 0.5 and 1.0 mol% Dy₂O₃. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were performed in order to analyze the structural and thermal properties of the glass. UV-visible spectroscopy was performed to verify its ability to absorb UV radiation and in what range. Photoluminescent excitation and emission measurements were performed at room temperature and the luminescence decay curves in time were registered by monitoring the transitions ⁵D->⁷F₂ for Eu³⁺, and ⁴F_9/2->⁶H_13/2 for Dy³⁺. In general, the glasses show good chemical stability, appropriate UV to visible conversion by Dy and Eu ions, and low interference on excited state lifetime with increasing dopant concentration. By fitting the decay curves with single exponential functions long averaged ⁵D₀ excited state lifetime values were found for Eu³⁺ doped samples (t_avg= 2.5 ± 0.1 ms) and for dysprosium ⁴F_9/2 excited state the values averaged 0.71 ± 0.03 ms. The materials are still under characterization but already stand as a promising candidates for UV sensors and scintillators. (author)
