Abstract
The impact of varying TeO2 content (0, 10, and 20 mol%) on the physical, optical, structural, and thermal properties was investigated for Eu2O3 doped borate glasses. Physical parameters such as sample density, molar volume, and ion concentration confirm the structural changes resulting from TeO2 doping. The optical band gap, calculated from absorption spectra using Tauc’s plot, indicates the presence of localized states between the valence and conduction bands. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses confirm that the samples exhibit glass characteristics. FTIR studies demonstrate effective Te-O-Te linkages. The thermal properties, were assessed using differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The DSC analysis revealed a computed △T of approximately 200 °C, indicating good thermal stability for the CNEBT glass. The crystallization onset and peak crystallization temperatures were observed to increase with the addition of TeO2. The reduced glass transition temperature (Trg) values suggest that internal crystallization is suppressed. TGA analysis confirmed weight loss attributed to the release of trapped solvents. The findings suggest that these glasses are suitable for use in high-temperature solid-state devices.

期刊介绍:
Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics.
Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers:
1. Full research papers
2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as:
- Data and/or a plot plus a description
- Description of a new method or instrumentation
- Negative results
- Concept or design study
3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
