Abstract
Two types of borosilicate leached SON68-type glasses were studied, one doped with uranium and the other with rare-earth element (Nd, Eu).
Photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence properties of U doped samples have been correlated to microscopic features of the corroded glass.
Nuclear analysis, Electronic Microprobe and Scanning Electron Microscope investigations revealed the heterogeneous composition of the gels with differentiated phases. Enriched U phases (crystallised or not) and phosphorus precipitated phases in rare earth gel have been detected.
