The effect of Nd3+ impurities on the magneto-optical properties of TeO2–P2O5–ZnO–LiNbO3 tellurite glass
Abstract
A study of the magnetic and magneto-optical properties of tellurite glass doped with Nd3+ is discussed in this communication. These properties were determined by measuring the magnetic susceptibility and the Faraday effect. The addition of Nd3+ results in deterioration of the magneto-optical properties and changes in the structure of defects in the glass.
