Abstract

Glasses based on natural mineral diopside and synthetic glasses starting from oxides of magnesium, calcium and silicon, and some of these glasses doped with 0.1, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0% of Ag, have been produced for the study of their thermoluminescence and optical absorption properties. A marked different behavior is observed in various glasses, including glass with silver nanoparticles.
