Structural Investigation, Physical and Optical Properties of Mixed Alkali Bismuth Borate Glasses

Lead free, eco-friendly bismuth borate glasses doped with alkali oxides of composition xLi2O+(30-x)Na2O+55B2O3+15Bi2O3 (x = 5,10,15,20,25) were prepared by melt quenching technique. Amorphous nature of glasses was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Density measurements were carried out at room temperature by standard principle of Archimedes with Xylene as an immersion liquid. The non-linear ...

Doped Zinc Lithium Bismuth Borate Glasses

Zinc lithium bismuth borate glasses containing Er in (25x): Bi2O3:20Li2O:20ZnO: 35B2O3:xEr2O3 (where x=1, 1.5,2 mol %) have been prepared by melt-quenching method. The amorphous nature of the glasses was confirmed by x-ray diffraction studies. Optical absorption and fluorescence spectra were recorded at room temperature for all glass samples. Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ωλ (λ=2, 4, 6) are e...

Electrical transport properties of single bismuth nanowires

Due to its unique electronic properties bismuth is of enormous interest for studies on the nanoscale. In particular, when the object size is comparable to the mean free path of charge carriers le (~ 100 nm and ~ 400 μm at 300 and 4 K, respectively [1]), mesoscopic effects such as electron scattering at both surface [2] and grain boundaries [3] become significant. For investigating the influence...

ions doped zinc bismuth borate glasses

Glasses having composition 20ZnO·xBi2O3·(79-x)B2O3 (15 x 35, in mol%) doped with 1 mol% of Nd 3+ ions were prepared. The different physical and absorption spectral properties have been investigated to understand the variation of the hypersensitive absorption band intensities. From the absorption spectra, Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters, ( = 2, 4, 6) have been calculated and these parameters wer...
