Judd-Ofelt (JO) theory derived oscillator strength parameters of electronic transitions of the trivalent lanthanides (Ln) qualitatively describe the local Ln environment. Recently, the JO parameters have been systematically studied as a function of Nd concentration in a single Na-rich aluminoborosilicate glass. Based on Nd partitioning scheme as its dissolution mechanism for borosilicate glasses, the extent of borate saturation by Nd as a function of Nd concentration using a stable local Nd-metaborate structure derived from previous studies has been simulated.
