In this work, Eu3+/Sm3+ co-doped zinc borosilicate glass was prepared by modified melt-quenching method. The effect of Eu3+/Sm3+ to the structural and optical properties was investigated. The optical band gaps increased from 5.023 to 5.179 eV, and 3.832 to 3.986 eV for both for direct/indirect trans...
