Abstract
The melt-quenching technique was used to prepare cadmium barium silicate glass samples doped with Bi2O3. The glass samples that were prepared (Y = 0.0, 10, 20, and 30 % mol%) have a chemical composition of (50-Y)CdO-10BaO-40SiO2-YBi2O3. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was utilized to investigate the amorphous character of the produced glasses, while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), density (ρ), molar volume (Vm), and crystal volume (Vc) were employed to study structural alterations. Furthermore, the optical properties of the glasses were estimated. XRD measurements verified that the synthetic glasses were amorphous. Replacements of Bi2O3/CdO led to an increase in the density of produced glasses from 4.87 to 6.74 g/cm3. However, similar behavioral trends were observed for the physical parameters Vm and Vc. FTIR measurements have confirmed that silicon requires more oxygen due to the conversion of SiO2 units into SiO4 in the glass networks, which increases cross-linkage in the glass network. The direct optical gap (Eindirect) reduced from 3.25 eV to 3.13 eV, whereas Edirect was declined from 3.38 eV to 3.27 eV. The Urbach's energy (ΔE) declined from 0.16 eV to 0.12 eV. The optical density (OD) parameter was in a strong correlation with the absorption coefficient (α) of the investigated glasses. The sample 20CdO-10BaO-30Bi2O3-40SiO2 possessed a high significant increase in the opacity. Results confirmed that the suggested GBi glassy samples can be used in optical applications.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
