To unveiled the function of exchanging Sm2O3 for B2O3 on the physical and mechanostructural traits of multi-component glass, five distinct type (A, B, C, D and E) of glasses
originated from (50-x)B2O3-10P2O5-30TeO2-10ZnO-xSm2O3 (0.1β€xβ€1.5, mol%)
compositions were fabricated by using ordinary approach of melt-quenching. The noncrystallinity status of the synthesized samples was established by X-ray diffraction (XRD)
profile. However, with sequential replacement of B2O3 by Sm2O3, the deduced values of
physical entities such as density (πππ π ), Sm3+ ions concentration (ππππ), field strength (F) and
glass hardness (π»π»ππ) of our produced glasses were significantly amplified, while the molar
volume (ππππ) alongside polaron radius (ππππ) and inter-nuclear distance (ππππ) decline. Besides,
data from FTIR with consequential deconvoluted spectral showcased the presence of BO3,
BO4, TeO3, TeO4 and PO4 functional groups which were randomly distributed within the
main glass network.
