Divalent manganese ions containing 20Na2O-15PbO-(5-x)Al2O3-60B2O3:xMnO2 (x ranging from 0 to 1 mol%) NPAB glasses are prepared by using melt quenching technique and are characterized by several spectroscopic techniques. Various physical parameters are calculated from the measured density values. Structural properties of MnO2 doped NPAB glasses are investigated by Powder XRD, EPR, UV-VIS absorption and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The amorphous nature of prepared glass samples are confirmed by X- ray diffraction spectra. EPR spectra of these glasses exhibited a well resolved six line hyperfine structure around g = 2.00 is the characteristic nature of Mn(II) ions in distorted octahedral site symmetry. Optical absorption spectra of these glasses revealed a single broad band at 21000 cm-1 which has been assigned to the transition 6A1g(S) → 4T1g(G) of Mn(II) ions. Optical band gap energies and Urbach energies are evaluated through the fundamental Ultra Violet absorption edges of the glasses. FT-IR spectra clearly exhibited different vibrational bands and assigned to borate groups and water molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
