ABSTRACT: In the development of new optoelectronic devices, mainly those related to
solid state technology (SSL), the generation of luminescent materials with high
intensity in visible region and low cost is of vital importance. For this
reason, this work presents the luminescent properties of zinc phosphate glasses
doped with the manganese ion 2+. The manganese ion offers a series of advantages with
respect to rare earths, such
as a more accessible cost and an intense emission in the red color that make it
a great candidate for the generation of new
optoelectronic devices. The methodology for the synthesis is presented in this work, as well as its luminescent properties, for concentrations of 2%,
10%, 13% and 15% atomic.
