Glass compositions xPbO : 20Na2O : (80-x)B2O3 (x = 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50 and 55 %mol) have been prepared using melt-quenching method. The density and molar volume of these glass samples have been found to be compositional dependent. The results indicate that PbO acts on the glass structures were different between the range 0≤ x ≤ 20 %mol and beyond x = 20 %mol (with inflection at x = 20 %mol). These due to the PbO can enter the glass network both as a network modifier and also as a network former. This role depends on the type of bond between lead and oxide. These results are interpreted in term of IR analysis.

Glasses belonging to x Fe2O3·(80-x) Bi2O3·20 Ga2O3system (0≤x≤20 mol %) were prepared using the melt quenching technique. Local order changes were investigated as a function of iron content using electron paramagnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy results. The glass network mainly consist of [ BiO6] octahedral units. Iron ions enter the glass network by breaking up Bi - O - Bi bonds. Gallium ions also behave as glass network modifier.

Borate is one of the most popular oxide glass being used in glass research world wide. Due to good reputation, therefore lead sodium borate glasses with compositions (90 - x) B2O3 + 10ZnO + xPbO (where = 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 mol %) have been prepared by using melt-quenching method. In this work, their physical and structural properties with respect to PbO content has been investigated. The densities of these glass samples were increased from 3946.2 kg/m3 to 5107.2 kg/m3 with an increase in PbO concentration. The molar volume are found to vary from 23.78 × 10-6 m3mol-1 to 24.39 × 10-6 m3mol-1 with respect to PbO content as well. The density and molar volume show inversed result respectively. The FTIR spectral analysis indicates that with the addition of PbO contents in the glass network, structural units of BO3 are transformed in BO4. There are no sharp peaks were observed in XRD patterns of the glass samples which confirmed the amorphous nature of the glass. Meanwhile, the micro hardness of these glass samples were also increased from 189 Pa to 355 Pa with increases on PbO content. The results will be discussed and presented in details.

Abstract A borate glasses doped with rare earth Gd3+ ion in the system [6OB2O3 + 30 L12O + x Gd2O3 + (10-x) BiCl3] is prepared by the conventional melt quenching method and their optical properties have been studied. The oxide ion polarizability parameter is calculating by using refractive index of glass materials, which is obtained from UV-Vis spectra. The borate glasses are known to possess high oxide ion polarizability, high refractive index, high basicity and low interaction parameter values. In this present study, theoretical calculation of basicity and interaction parameter, using oxide ion polarization, of the glass network has been addressed. A good linear correlation between the interaction parameter and basicity is observed.

The selected lanthanum-strontium-borate glasses were prepared by a conventional melt-quenching technique. The compositions of the investigated glasses were chosen to be: 5.7, 9.5, 14.3, 19.1 mol % for La2O3, 22.9, 19.1, 14.3, 9.5 for mol % SrO and 71.4 mol % for B2O3. The density, molar volume, oxygen molar volume, oxygen packing density, oxygen/boron ratios and structural transformations in the glass network were investigated according to the substitution of SrO by La2O3. The density and the molar volume increased in parallel with La2O3 content increase. Simultaneously, oxygen molar volume values increased while the oxygen packing density values decreased. A hot stage microscope (HSM) and a differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to determine the characteristic temperatures. By increasing the content of lanthanum, the glass transition temperatures, changed with the same trend as the molar volume. Glass stability parameters were calculated from the temperatures obtained by DTA and HSM. The HSM results were used to obtain the viscosity curves by applying Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman (VFT) equation.

In this work, effect of Li2O and Na2O on bismuth borate glasses have been investigated. The glass samples were prepared in composition 44B2O3 : 50Bi2O3 : 5Li2O : 1A2O3 and 44B2O3 : 50Bi2O3 : 5Na2O3 : 1A2O3 (where A2O3= Sm2O3 and Dy2O3).Glasses were prepared using the melt-quenching technique at 1,100 oc under normal atmosphere. The result found that, the density and molar volume of lithium bismuth borate glasses are less than sodium bismuth borate glasses both in Sm2O3 and Dy2O3. In addition, the optical absorption spectra and luminescence of lithium bismuth borate glasses are higher than sodium bismuth borate glasses both in Sm2O3 and Dy2O3.

ABSTRACTAmorphous SiSx:H (x ∼ 2) films have been synthesized from H2S and SiH4 precursors using a remote plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition apparatus. Structural studies by solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Raman scattering reveal that the atomic environments in these materials are similar to those observed in melt-quenched silicon sulfide glasses, and are characterized by corner- and edge-shared SiS4/2 tetrahedra. Compared to these glasses, however, the films show consistently higher fractions of corner-sharing S1S4/2 tetrahedra. The ratio of corner- to edge sharing tetrahedra and the Si:S ratio can be influenced by the H2S/S1H4 flow rate ratio during deposition. Thus, PECVD opens up wider opportunities for structural tailoring of amorphous silicon sulfide materials than currently possible by means of the melt-quenching method. Preliminary data for the PECVD synthesis of phosphorus sulfide is also presented.

The glass system (50–x)B2O3–30Bi2O3–20TeO2–xEu2O3 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mol%) having been prepared using the conventional melt quenching method, is investigated in terms of physical, optical, and luminescence properties. The density of these glasses is measured and the corresponding molar volume is also calculated. The (αhν)1/n versus hν graph was plotted and it is well fitted to both direct (n = 1/2) and indirect (n = 2) band gaps. The direct and indirect band gap values range from 2.57 to 2.94 eV and 1.74 to 2.58 eV, respectively. The Urbach energy of the glass system was calculated to have values ranging from 0.29 to 0.62 eV. Yellow, orange, and red emissions have been observed through photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy excited at 464 nm and the obtained multicolor emissions have been demonstrated according to the Commission International de l’Eclairage de France 1931 standards. The results of PL studies indicated the possibility towards the development of multicolor phosphor applications.

Ho3+ doped zinc bismuth borate glasses of the composition 10ZnO : 30Bi2O3 : (60-x)B2O3 : xHo2O3 (where x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mol%) were fabricated by conventional melt quenching technique. In order to understand the role of Ho2O3 in these glasses, the density, molar volume and optical spectra were investigated. The molar volume decreases with an increase in Ho2O3 content, which is attributed to the structure becomes more compacted. The absorption spectra of Ho3+ doped in zinc bismuth borate glass correspond to several bands, which are assigned from the ground state, 5I8 to 5G5 (420 nm), 5G6 + 5F1 (451 nm), 5F2 + 5F4 (538 nm), 5F5 (643 nm) and 5I5 (1152 nm). Moreover, the optical basicities were also theoretically determined.

The bismuth sodium borate glasses in formula xBi2O3:20Na2O:(80-x)B2O3 (x = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 mol %) have been prepared by melt-quenching technique. The glass sample at x=0 mol% show the colorless and show the stronger yellow at the higher Bi2O3 content. The glasses’s colors are corespondening with the cutoff wavelength’s results. The shielding properties were measured at 662 keV by Cs-137 radiation source. The obtained results show that the mass attenuation coefficient increased with the increasing of Bi2O3 concentration. Half Value Layer (HVL) of glasses were determined and compared with the some standard shielding materials. The optical and physical properties were also investigated.
