Borate glasses have been studied for many years due to their interesting properties, tunable with the concentration of alkaline and alkaline earth modifiers. Much effort has been made in understanding the structure of these glasses and their relation with properties. In recent years these glasses have attracted the attention of many researchers, due to their optical properties, especially those related to the emission of light during sample heat treatment (thermally stimulated luminescence or thermoluminescence, TL).
