Effects of vanadium on the structural and optical properties of borate glasses containing er3+ and silver nanoparticles

The erbium-vanadium co-doped borate glasses, embedded with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), were prepared to improve their optical properties for potential optical fiber and glass laser application. The borate glasses with composition (59.5–x) B2O3–20Na2O–20CaO–xV2O5–Er2O3– 0.5AgCl (x = 0–2.5 mol%) we...
