SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF OPTICAL, STRENGTH AND SHIELDING CHARACTERISTICS OF 0.6TeO<sub>2</sub>-0.25BaO-0.15ZnO

This study presents the results of studying optical, strength, dielectric and screening characteristics 0.6TeO 2 0.25BaO-0.15ZnO glasses. The method mechanochemical grinding initial oxide components followed by thermal sintering in order to obtain vitreous samples with an amorphous structure was chosen as preparation method. To characterize obtained samples, methods scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, X-ray diffraction, impedance optical spectroscopy were used, strength properties determined using indentation In course studies structural features phase composition, it found that synthesized glasses have nature, a small content inclusions form BaZnTe O 7 grains. At same time, analysis mapping elements glass composition showed isotropic distribution all complete absence any impurities. When determining glasses, transmission spectra contain wide absorption band visible light region, well three spectral bands characteristic oxygen vacancies interstitial atoms. According data characteristics, sufficient hardness resistance external influences, nature crack formation is typical for semi-disk cracks. An shielding high efficiency low-energy gamma rays.
