Spectroscopic Studies of Magnesium Manganese Borate Glasses

Mechanical Properties of Alkali Borate Glasses

A GLASS is, formally, a solid that solidifies without a well-defined melting point— defined as a singular temperature at which there occurs a discontinuous change in a physical property, for example specific volume, during transition between a liquid state and its corresponding solid state—but instead exhibits a continuous change in that property over a range of temperature. Glasses tend to inh...

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...

Dielectric dispersion in lithiumebismuth-borate glasses

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...
