Structure and physical properties of sodium borate glasses containing nickel oxide

Abstract

A series of glass samples were prepared from a mixtures of B2Oa, Na20 and NiO. The role of nickel oxide in a glass matrix was studied by using infrared spectra, optical absorption, magnetic susceptibility, density, and differential thermal analysis (DTA). It was shown that the addition of nickel oxide at different concentrations to the glass batches causes some deformation in the glass structure. The values of ligand field strength and Racah parameter indicated an increasing degree of covalency. The glass samples exhibited diamagnetic behaviour with NiO content up to 1 g, then paramagnetic behaviour. The densities and glass transition temperatures decreased with increase in the NiO content up to 0.2 g and then increased again. This tendency may be related to changes in the glass structure.

Effect of copper oxide on structure and physical properties of lithium lead borate glasses

“…The glass transition temperature depends on the glass structure, and glass transition is related to the density of covalent cross-linking, the oxygen density of the network and the number and strength of the cross-links between oxygen and the cation [8,9].…”

Nickel ion—A structural probe in BaO–Al2O3–P2O5 glass system by means of dielectric, spectroscopic and magnetic studies

“…Nickel ions are reported to occupy both tetrahedral and octahedral positions in the glass matrices [17][18][19][20][21][22]. Attempts were also made to investigate the lasing action of these ions in certain crystal and glass systems since these ions possess several strong absorption bands in the visible and NIR regions where the pumping sources are easily available [23].…”

IR, density and DTA studies the effect of replacing Pb3O4 by CuO in pseudo-binary Li2B4O7–Pb3O4 glass system

“…For sample containing 15 mol% CuO, the band at 1086 cm −1 assigned to B-O linkages of BO 4 groups [38], the band at 1283 cm −1 due to B-O stretching vibration of metaborate chain and orthoborate [20].…”
