The techniques of melt-quenching were used to generate 53B2O3 -2NaF -27PbO -(20 − )BaO -La2O3 (0 ≤ ≥ 15) . XRD patterns have established the amorphous character of glass samples. There is clear evidence of the role of La2O3 modifier in the glass network. The thermal characteristics were identified to increase with an increase in La2O3 content. Increasing La2O3 increases the linear and non-linear optical bandgap energy and the Urbach energy. By adding La2O3 to the glass samples, the refractive index, molar polarizability, polarizability, and optical basicity are increased. Theoretically, the bulk modulus and the glass transition temperature increase because of the increase in bond strength. The number of bonds per unit increased with the increase in La2O3 content because of the modifier character of La2O3 in the glass samples. Multiple optical parameters ( ∞), ( o),(1) , ( 3) ) and ( 2 ) as a function of linear and non-linear were obtained. The extent of shielding in this article was examined with the increment in La2O3 at the expense of BaO. The results correspond with similar studies conducted previously.

“…In specific, the glass based on B2O3 and SiO2 has become common among a wide variety of glass systems, keeping in mind its glass status, transparency, and a variety of physical and chemical properties. The B element can transform its coordination number between 3 and 4 with oxygen supplying by modification of metal cations [1][2][3][4][5]. Due to their unique properties such as hardness, transparency, UV-transmission ability, and corrosion resistance, SiO2-B2O3 glasses were investigated for many years.…”

Glasses with the chemical formula 52B2O3 – 12SiO2- 26Bi2O3 – (10-x) TiO2 - Y2O3, :(0≤ x ≥ 10), the melt-quench method was used to prepare this glass system. The purpose of this article is to investigate the spectroscopic features of these glasses. The nature of the glass system has been investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis. In the current article, the molar volume acquired decreased while the density and refractive index increased. In the current article, Y2O3 plays an important role and impacts the spectroscopic characteristics of the samples accordingly. For all the present glasses, the optical bandgap is found to be in the semiconducting range. The optical bandgap enhances as Y2O3 rises, while Urbach energy reduces. Molar Refractivity, molar polarization, polarization, and optical basicity decrease with increasing Y2O3 content. Wemple and Didomenico principles were used for calculated the Eo and Ed dispersion. The significance of the Y2O3 modifier in the glass system signifies proved.

Glasses with the chemical composition of 52B2O3 – 12SiO2- 26Bi2O3 – (10 - x ) TiO2 - xY2O3, : (0 ≤ x ≥ 10 )prepared using the melt-quench method. The goal of this study is to investigate the structural, thermal, and crystallization characteristics of these samples. XRD analysis has explored the nature of the glass system. Molar volume obtained reduced while the density denotes increased in the present system. FTIR analysis revealed that as Y2O3 replaced by TiO2, because of an increasing trend in bridging oxygens (BOs), structural units and interconnection of modifier oxide tetrahedral increment, while non-bridging oxygens (NBOs) reduce. These glasses' thermal stability investigated using DTA. As the concentration of Y2O3 increased, so the thermal parameter values. The glass-ceramic denoted prepared under controlled heat and investigated using XRD & SEM. Ultrasonic velocities and elastic moduli of glass-ceramic samples increase as internal energy increases. The significance of Y2O3 modifier in the glass system signifies proved. Y2O3 is a powerful nucleating agent that can cause crystallization, assisting in the formation of glass-ceramic phases.
