FTIR and UV-Vis-NIR Spectral Studies of Borotellurite Glass

Abstract:

A glass system based on composition of 80TeO₂-(10-x) B₂O₃ -10PbO-xNd₂O₃, where 0.0mol% ≤ x ≥ 2.5mol% was successfully prepared by melt-quenching method. The structural and optical behavior of the Nd³⁺ doped borotellurite glasses are well studied by mean of their FTIR, XRD as well as UV-Vis -NIR spectroscopy. The XRD pattern obtained confirms the amorphous nature of the glass. Meanwhile, the infra-red absorption spectra of glass samples obtained are recorded using an FTIR spectrometer in the wave number ranging from 400 to 4000 cm^-1. The bands observed were attributed to the different modes of vibrations of Te-O band. From the absorption spectral measurements, the value of optical band gap (E_opt) and the Urbach energy (ΔE) values were calculated with the results were then been discussed nor reported. Quantitative justification of these absorption bands shows that the values of the experimental wave number for most absorption bands are in agreement with the theoretical ones. Optical absorption spectra show that the absorption edge has a tail extending towards lower energies. In general, an increment or a decrement in Urbach’s energy can be considered to be due to a deformation of glass network.
