Abstract
Transition metal oxides (V2O5, Fe2O3, MnO2) and Na2O -doped tellurite (TeO2) glasses (TVFN) and (TVFNMn), were fabricated to examine for structural, magnetic and optical properties. The concentration of OH⁻ ions in TVFNMn glasses was determined to be ∼1.2932 × 10¹⁸ ions/cm³. Solid-state ²³Na nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of TVFN glass showed broadened and split peaks. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy of TVFNMn glasses are evidenced for free electrons by a g value of 1.994. Magnetic measurements using a vibrating sample magnetometer showed that TVFNMn glasses exhibit a high saturation magnetization of 0.3118 Am²/Kg and a remanence of 22.69 × 10⁻³ Am²/Kg. In addition, the paramagnetic TVFN glasses were revealed a Verdet constant of -8.83 rad T−1m−1 at 550 nm wavelength. Optical band gap measurements revealed both direct (1.91 eV) and indirect (0.25 eV) band gaps in TVFNMn glasses. These results find that TVFNMn glasses are promising for Faraday rotator applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
