The radio-chemical reaction of Sm3+reduction in xTiO2(ZrO2)–(10−x)Al2O3–90SiO2glasses (x=0–10mol%) was examined by a photoluminescence technique with fluorescence intensities at 560–650nm (Sm3+;4G5/2→6HJ) and 680–720nm (Sm2+;5D0→7FJ). It was found that the reduction of Sm3+ions by X-ray irradiation was significantly decreased by the introduction of TiO2and no reduction occurred in the glasses containing TiO2above 5%. On the other hand, in the ZrO2containing glasses, the reduction of Sm3+ions was almost monotonous up to 5% of ZrO2. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra revealed the presence of some defect centers; hole-trap center (HTC) and electron-trap center (ETC). Hole centers trapped by oxygen ions bound to the Al3+ions were strongly related to the reduction process from Sm3+to Sm2+ions; the released electrons from the Al-related HTC were captured by the nearest Sm3+ions, forming Sm2+. On the other hand, in the TiO2-containing glasses, electrons generated were preferably trapped in Ti4+ions so as to form ETC, resulting in no reduction of Sm3+ions.
