The Relationship

A series of tellurite glass containing samarium ion and silver nanoparticles with a composition of (89.6-x)TeO2-10MgO-(x)Sm2O3-0.4AgCl with 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 1.0mol% have been synthesized by a conventional melt quenching technique. The X-ray diffraction pattern verified the amorphous nature of glasses. A systematic study on the relationship between Sm2O3 concentration and the physical properties of the glass has been made. The effect on the progressive replacement of TeO2 by Sm2O3 on density, molar volume, refractive index and electronic polarisability has been investigated. The results show that density and ionic packing density are in the range of 4.91-5.04 g cm-3 and 0.444 – 0.455, respectively, increases as the amount of Sm2O3 is increased up to 0.8 mol% and decrease afterward. However, the molar volume which is in between, 29.59-30.26 m3 mol-1 decreasing as the amount of Sm2O3 is increased up to 0.8 mol% and increase thereafter. Meanwhile the refractive index which is deduced from optical energy band gap is found to possess a value in the range of 2.37 to 2.45 and electronic polarisability is in the range of 7.14-7.51Å3. All the results will be discussed with respect to the glass composition.

In the present work, three optically transparent tungsten niobate tellurite glasses with compositions of (90-x)TeO2-10Nb2O5-xWO3 (x = 0, 6, 12 mol%) were synthesized by conventional melt quenching technique. For all these three glass samples, the structural and the compositional dependence of different physical parameters such as density, molar volume and ionic packing density have been analyzed. It been observed that the amorphous nature of the samples has been confirm by X-ray diffraction analysis. The physical properties of the glasses were evaluated and the change in density ( ), molar volume ( ) and ionic packing density ( ) in these glasses indicates the effect of WO3 different content registered on the glasses structure. The highest refractive indexes value 2.171 at 632.8 nm was measured for 78TeO2–10Nb2O5–12WO3 glass. It is found that the addition of WO3 concentration to TeO2-Nb2O5 glass system increase the value of density, molar volume as well as ionic packing density. The refractive index value of the glass increase with tendency for small optical energy band gap.

Tellurite glass containing zirconium fluoride (ZrF4) with composition of (90-x)TeO2-10MgO-(x)ZrF4,where 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 6.0 in mol% has successfully been prepared by melt quenching technique. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern verified the amorphous nature of the glass. In this study, the physical and optical properties were investigated in term of density and absorption properties by using Archimedes method and UV-Vis Spectroscopy. It was found that glass density decreases in the range of 4.842 – 4.995 g cm-3 with the increase of ZrF4 concentration. Meanwhile, the molar volume is increased in the range from 29.566 to 30.593 cm3/mol with increase of ZrF4. The absorption edge is found to shift toward a higher wavelength as the ZrF4 concentration is increased. On the other hand, the optical energy band gap shows the decrement from 2.573 to 2.212 eV for indirect transition and from 3.044 to 2.927 eV for direct transition with the addition of ZrF4 concentration while the Urbach energy, increases from 0.302 to 0.498 eV with the increase of ZrF4.

AbstractIn this paper, we reported experimental results about optical and structural properties of amorphous silicon carbide (α-Si1-xCx). The films of a-Si1-xCx) were grown by CVD on substrate of quartz glass. Optical constants (n-refractive index, a-absorption coefficient, Eg-optical energy band gap) of these films were determined by transmission spectra. The radial distribution functions (RDFs) of α- Sil−xCx) films were drawn out from the data of x-ray diffraction spectra. According to the RDFs, we imagined the statistic scene from which we could obtain the information of atomic radial distribution. The bond lengths and bond numbers of Si-Si, Si-C, and C-C could be also determined by RDFs. From the analysis of Raman spectra, we obtained the information of their vibration state density, and discerned the peaks of bond vibration, which agreed well with the results of α-Si1-xCx) RDF.

Tuning the concentration of nanoparticles (NPs) to accommodate wider application demanded a better understanding of the physicals and structural properties of the glass. A series of zinc phosphate glasses with the composition of (57-x) P2O5- 40ZnO-3Tb2O3 –xCuO, (0 ≤ x ≤ 2 mol %) has been prepared by melt quenching technique and their physical and optical characterization have been studied. The X-Ray Diffraction technique and UV-Vis Spectroscopy have been used to characterize the glass sample. The XRD confirms the amorphous nature of the prepared glasses. The physical properties of glasses with different CuO NPs such as density, molar volume, refractive index and electronic polarizability are determined. It is found that both density and molar volume decreases with increasing CuO NPs concentration. The optical band gap (4.54 eV-2.96 eV) and the Urbach energy (0.19 eV-0.54 eV) are showing a decreasing trend with the increasing amount of CuO NPs.This is due to the formation of non-bridging oxygen, (NBO) in the glass network. The glass exhibits high refractive index ~2.40 and polarizability ~1.12 ×10-23 cm3 and is useful for solid-state laser and optoelectronic devices.

Modifying the physical and optical properties of zinc borotellurite glasses by controlling rare earth (RE) doping is important in order to obtain high quality glass. In this study, Samarium (Sm3+) doped zinc borotellurite glasses were successfully fabricated by using conventional melt-quenching technique with chemical composition (where x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol%). The physical properties by mean of their density as well as molar volume were measured while the optical properties have been studied through UV-Vis spectroscopy in order to determine the optical band gap (Eopt) and Urbach energy (ΔΕ) of the glass system. Optical absorption spectra of the glass samples were recorded in the range 350 nm - 750 nm at room temperature. The amorphous nature of the glass was confirmed from X-ray diffraction techniques. The density and molar volume of the glass samples were found to vary with respect to Sm3+ ions content. The value of optical band gap, Eopt lies between 2.605 eV to 2.982 eV for the direct transition and 2.768 eV to 3.198 eV for the indirect transition respectively. Meanwhile, the Urbach energy, ΔE was observed in the range of 0.112 eV to 0.694 eV respectively. The physical and optical properties were found to be strongly affected by the varying concentration of Sm3+ ions. Some other results will be analysed and discussed in detail.
