- Description
- The alumino lead borate glasses with small amounts of copper oxide were synthesized by melting and quenching according to the relation 50B2O3-30PbO-(20x)Al2O3-xCuO with x = 0, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 mol%. The powder XRDs had no sharp peaks which show that the samples are amorphous. Density of the glasses increased as the content of the CuO increased. FTIR spectroscopic studies reveal the presence of BO3, BO4, PbO4, AlO4, pentaborate [B5O8], diborate [B4O72] and dipentaborate B512 structural units. The UV-visible absorption studies showed that the refractive index, indirect energy gap, oxide ion polarizability and optical basicity had composition dependence which were related to the glass structure. As the CuO concentration increased, the refractive index decreased, indirect energy gap increased, oxide ion polarizability decreased and optical basicity decreased. Optical band gap increased with increasing CuO content as the band gap for bridging oxygens is higher than that for non-bridging oxygens. 2024 Indian Ceramic Society.
