Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of Nd doped phosphate glasses have been studied before and after gamma irradiation in order to find the behavior of chemical bonds, which decide the structural…
Nuclear spent fuel reprocessing generates high level radioactive waste with high Mo concentration that are currently immobilized in borosilicate glass matrices containing both alkali and alkaline-earth elements [1]. Because of its high…
Alkali and alkaline earth aluminoborate glasses feature high resistance to cracking under sharp contact loading compared to other oxide glasses. However, due to the high content of hygroscopic B2O3, it is expected that applications of these…
Various elastic coefficients of Au2O3 doped PbO-B2O3-SeO2:Er2O3 (PBSE) glass ceramics were evaluated as functions of Au2O3 content using ultrasonic velocity measurements. The elastic coefficients and micro-hardness showed a decreasing…
Nd doped phosphate glasses have been studied before and after gamma irradiation in order to understand the effect of glass composition and radiation induced defects on the optical properties of glasses. UV, Vis absorption and…

The Gd3Ga5-xAlxO12 (0 < x < 5) solid solution has been prepared using ceramic synthesis routes and the structural and magnetic properties investigated using X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, chi, and isothermal magnetisation,…
We present a corroborative study of structural characterization of lithium substituted barium vanadate glasses using Raman and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Investigation of the thermal and physical properties of these…
We report the results of the X-ray diffraction study of B2O3 glass in the pressure interval up to 10 GPa in the 300-700 K temperature range, the results of in-situ volumetric measurements of the glass at pressures up to 9 GPa at room…
We investigated the structural evolution and optical properties of beta-Ga2O3 crystals implanted with different rare-earth (RE) ions using channeling Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry, Positron Annihilation, Photoluminescence, and…
Effect of an internal chemical pressure on structural, optical, magnetic and electrical properties in Bi0.9RE0.1FeO3 Ceramics (RE =Gd3+,Tb3+,Dy3+)has been studied extensively. Some of the highlights are as follows; 1. Coexistence of…
We study the effect of boron (B) and Phosphorous (P) co-doping on electronic and optical properties of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C$_3$N$_4$ or GCN) monolayer using density functional simulations. The energy band structure indicates that…
Boron-doped diamond crystals (BDD, C$_{1-x}$B$_{x}$) exhibit exceptional mechanical strength, electronic tunability, and resistance to radiation damage. This makes them promising materials for use in gamma-ray crystal-based light sources.…
Graphene monolayer is a material with zero band gap, because of which its applications in optoelectronics are limited. The question arises, can we modify the optoelectronic properties of graphene by doping it with other atoms? Synthesis of…
In this investigation, Gd and Mn co-doped Bi$_{0.85}$Gd$_{0.15}$Fe$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$O$_3$ (x=0.0-0.15) nanoparticles have been prepared to report the influence of co-substitution on their structural, optical, magnetic and electrical properties.…
The magnetic rare earth element gadolinium (Gd) was doped into thin films of amorphous carbon (hydrogenated \textit{a}-C:H, or hydrogen-free \textit{a}-C) using magnetron co-sputtering. The Gd acted as a magnetic as well as an electrical…
We use ab initio simulations to investigate the properties of a sodium borosilicate glass of composition 3Na_2O-B_2O_3-6SiO_2. We find that the broadening of the first peak in the radial distribution functions g_BO(r) and g_BNa(r) is due to…
The electronic, thermal, magnetic and optical properties of BN-codoped strontium oxide (SrO) monolayers are studied taking into account the interaction effects between the B and the N dopant atoms. The indirect band gap of a pure two…
Rare-earth (RE) containing alkali aluminoborosilicate glasses find increasingly broad technological applications, with their further development only impeded by yet-poor understanding of coordination environment and structural role of RE…
We report on detailed structural, electronic and magnetic studies of GdMn$_{1-x}$Cr$_x$O$_3$ for Cr doping levels 0 $\le$ $x$ $\le$ 1. In the solid solutions, the Jahn-Teller distortion associated with Mn$^{3+}$ ions gives rise to major…
