Effect of Addition TiO2 on Bi2O3-TiO2-B2O3 Glasses

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bismuth titanium borate glasses in compositions xTiO2 : (30-x)Bi2O3 : 70B2O3 (with x is in mol%, varying from 0% to 10%) were fabricated by the conventional melt quenching technique. The effect of TiO2 on the physical and spectroscopic properties of bismuth borate glasses have been carried out by means of density and UV-Visible spectroscopy measurement techniques. The density and molar volume of all glasses are found to change depend on TiO2 substitution. The fundamental absorption edges for all glasses have been identified using the theory proposed by Davis and Mott. The optical band gap (Eg) is found to decrease with increase in TiO2 content.
