  “Synthesis and characterization of lithium –borate glasses containing rare earth oxides”Rare earth glasses are excellent luminescence materials because of their emission efficiencies due to 4f-4f and 4f-5d electronic transitions in the REn+. Occurrence of sharp fluorescence in ultraviolet (UV) to the infrared region is due to shielding effects of the outer 5s and 5p orbitals on the 4f electrons. These glasses have potential applications as plasma display panel, semiconductor light emitting diodes, solid state lasers, X-ray medical radiography, optical amplifiers, etc. PhD is a detailed account of the investigations carried out on the preparation, structural properties, electrical properties, absorption study, energy band gap and luminescence properties of lithium borate glasses containing different REO’s.

  “Preparation and characterization of glasses and phosphor light emitting diode (LED) applications”Glasses: Glasses are one of the interesting and widely known materials. Glasses offer a broad range of composition, homogeneity, easy formability in any shapes and size. Goal is to incorporate various rare earths specially Dy3+, Sm3+ and Nd3+ ions in the different glass composition for LED and solar cell applications.Phosphor: Investigation of new phosphor materials to avoid color aberration in multi-color phosphor display. Silicate materials has a high melting point and offers great chemical and thermal stability. Work focuses on the silicate phosphor. Show less

  “Development of monolithic and porous glass-ceramics from inorganic waste and recycled glasses”.Main goal of the project is to utilize the inorganic or industrial glass for the synthesis of ceramics waste. This can be achieve by dissolving the starting material (waste) in the alkali enviroent to form gel (gelification). By sintering at different temperature, the ceramic can be obtain from the gel. This process of ceramic synthesis also helpful in leaching of hazardous element’s (e.g. Cr, Mo, V etc.) and organic compounds. Show less
