Abstract In this research the melt quenching technique method was used to synthesize two series of borotellurite glass systems doped with manganese and strontium. Elastic measurement, X-Ray Diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the prepared glass samples. The increment of molar volume confirmed the theory that molar volume is inversely proportional to the density parameters. A broad hump appeared in XRD as the samples shown pure amorphous nature. In FTIR, the functional group vibrations of tellurite network were recorded such as TeO4 trigonal bipyramids and TeO3 trigonal pyramids by addition of both dopants. On the other hand, ultrasonic velocity was used to determine the elastic moduli of the glass such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, longitudinal modulus, Young’s Modulus, microhardness and Poisson’s ratio which showed decreasing and increasing trends with the increased concentration of MnO2 and SrO respectively.

Borotellurite glasses were generally applied in rare earth optical materials due to their excellent physical properties. Samarium doped borotellurite glasses have been identified as one of the potential candidate for optical applications. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the physical properties of Sm3+ doped borotellurite glasses by mean of their density, molar volume, microhardness and X-ray diffraction. In this study, the Sm3+ doped borotellurite glasses of the system (70-x)TeO2-20B2O3-10ZnO-xSm2O3 as the samarium trioxide varies from (x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol%) have been prepared by melt-quenching method. The amorphous nature of the prepared glass samples have been confirmed through XRD spectral analysis. The values of density are found to vary from 4.541g/cm3 to 4.837g/cm3 as well as the values of molar volume as it varies from 29.118cm3/mol to 28.314cm3/mol with the increase of Sm3+ content. The physical properties corresponding to compositional changes have been analysed and the result are reported and presented.

Magnesium sulfoborate glasses of different compositions were prepared using melt quenching method with the purpose of using it for optical properties. The Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) have been carried out. Density and molar volume have been evaluated and analysed. From the results of XRD, the absent of discrete and continuous sharp peaks confirmed the amorphous nature of the glass compositions while the results from both FTIR and NMR revealed the existence of BO3, BO4 units. Addition of MgO to sulfoborate influenced the conversion of the dominant BO3 groups to BO4 groups. The BO4 groups are known for creating complex defects that transform into that stable trap good for optical phenomena. It was observed that the density of glass increases while the molar volume is decreases with respect to increase in concentration of alkaline earth oxide in the glass compositions.

Five distinguish glass samples were prepared by melt quenching technique of the composition (81-x)H3BO3-19BaCO3-xDy2O3 with x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mol%. The effect of Dy3+ to the barium borate glass can be investigated in terms of their physical properties such as density, molar volume and oxygen packing density. The structural properties were analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The result revealed that the increment of mol% of Dy3+ in the compound generally will increases the density and molar volume of the glass samples. The amorphous nature of the glass system was verified from the XRD spectra pattern. Meanwhile, the FTIR spectra shown the presence of Ba2+, BO3, BO4, B-O-B linkage, H-O-H and isolated borate in the glass network.

The phosphate glasses, with composition (60-x)P2O5-25ZnO-(15+x)Li2O where 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 5.0 mol% are prepared by conventional melt quenching method. The amorphous nature of the glass is determined by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The physical properties are measured in term of their density and molar volume. Glass density is found to increase from 2.700 to 2.785 g cm-3 whereas molar volume is found to decrease from 40.735 to 37.488 cm3 mol-1 with respect to Li2O content. The DC measurements are done by using four point probes and the activation energies are determined. Arrhenius plot shows straight line behavior as observed that confirmed the conductivity increased with Li2O content. The activation energy is found to decreases from 0.75 to 0.08 eV as Li2O content is increased in the temperature range from 310 to 420 K. Measurements of the thermal conductivity using Lee’s disc apparatus have been made. It is observed that the maximum and minimum thermal conductivity are 0.2679 and 0.2168 W m-1 K-1 respectively.

Zirconium dioxide (zirconia) ceramics are known by its high strength and toughness and titanium dioxide (titania) ceramics has outstanding surface properties. The ceramic composite formed between the two oxides are expected to have advantages of both ceramics, especially when its surface area is increased by pores. In this work, ceramic composites of ZrO2-Y2O3-TiO2were synthesized by coprecipitation and rice starch was added as pore former in 10, 20 and 30 wt%. Powders were cold pressed as cylindrical pellets and sintered at 1500 °C for 01 hour and ceramics were characterized by techniques as Archimedes method for density measurements, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that pores are inhomogeneously distributed through ceramic bodies.

Homogeneous glass samples with different compositions 42(P2O5)?40 (ZnO)?(16?x)(K2O)?2 (Bi2O3)?x(Cu2O) (where x = 1, 2 and 3mol%) were prepared by conventional melt-quenched technique under controlled conditions. The structure of the prepared glass samples was investigated by X-ray diffraction. Optical properties (transmittance and reflectance) of the glasses were measured in the wavelength range 200-900 nm. The optical band gap energy of the investigated glasses with 1, 2 and 3mol% Cu2O was estimated from absorption data using the Mott and Davis relation and found to be 2.33, 2.45 and 2.53 eV, respectively. The mechanism of optical absorption was found to be direct. The band tail width was also estimated and found to lay in the acceptable range. Refractive index, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient and real/imaginary parts of dielectric constants were calculated. Further to this, some theoretical investigation of the spectral problems was carried out. The investigation was based on finite difference method.

This study is supervised to assess the characteristics of the locally available wheat straw ash (WSA) to consume as a substitute to the cement and support in enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete. Initially, after incineration at optimum temperature of 800°C for 0.5, the ash of wheat straw was made up to the desirable level of fineness by passing through it to the several grinding cycles. Subsequently, the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) along with X-ray diffraction (XRD) testing conducted on ash of wheat straw for the evaluation its pozzolanic potential. Finally, the specimens of concrete were made by consuming 10% and 20% percentages of wheat straw ash as a replacement in concrete to conclude its impact on the compressive strength of high strength concrete. The cylinders of steel of dimensions 10cm diameter x 20cm depth were acquired to evaluate the compressive strength of high strength concrete. The relative outcomes of cylinders made of wheat straw ash substitution presented the slight increase in strength values of the concrete. Ultimately, the C-100 blends and WSA aided cement blends were inspected for the rheology of WSA through FTIR spectroscopy along with Thermogravimetric technique. The conclusions authenticate the WSA potential to replace cement in the manufacturing of the high strength concrete.
