Abstract
This project aims to synthesize and characterize oxide glasses and glass-ceramics with magneto-optical (MO) properties, aiming at the production of Faraday rotators for the development of MO sensors. To achieve this goal, borogermanate glasses containing high concentrations of rare earth ions with high paramagnetic moments (¼eff), such as Tb3+, Dy3+ and Ho3+, will be synthesized. The prod…
