Abstract

(55-x)SiO2: 13B2O3:1.0Al2O3: 6.3CaO: 0.2Sb2O3: 20Na2O: 4.5BaO:x Dopant (x = MnO2) where x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 mol% were synthesized by melt quench method. In this work the investigation of glass productions using from rice husk ash (RHA) with effect of MnO2 was studied. The structural and optical properties were examined and discussed. The local RHA in Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand was used as a silica source for preparation of glass. FTIR, RAMAN, Optical absorption, Photoluminescence analysis were performed for these glasses. FTIR show Si-O-Si anti-symmetric vibrations of bridging oxygens for all glasses. Raman Spectra revealed danburite structural units. Mn2+: RHA luminescence were analyzed and presented corresponding Tanabe-Sugano and energy level diagrams. The Mn2+: RHA glass showed green and orange emission ranging from 475 nm to 650 nm. Lifetime measurements were also performed and found that the lifetime decreases with increase in MnO2 concentration.
