Bismuth fluoroborate glasses with compositions xBi2O3·(40 − x)LiF·60 B2O3 (x = 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20) are synthesized by melt-quench method. XRD pattern is obtained for all the samples to confirm their amorphous nature. FTIR spectroscopy is carried out for the reported samples. It reflects the effect of replacement of a non-oxide group (LiF) with an oxide group (Bi2O3) in the glass network, due to the presence of the various absorption bands and their shifting with such replacement, assigning a role of network modifier to Bi2O3. Density and molar volume show an increase in their values with increase in Bi2O3 concentration. Theoretical optical basicity is calculated for the reported samples, which shows a decreasing trend with the increasing concentration of Bi2O3.

Enhancing the optical performance of rare earth doped binary inorganic glasses is an ever-demanding quest. Samarium (Sm3+) doped zinc tellurite glasses containing Manganese (Mn) nanoparticles (NPs) with composition (59-x)TeO2-20ZnCl2-10ZnO-10Li2O-1Sm2O3-(x)Mn3O4, where x = 0 to 0.06 mol% are prepared by melt quenching technique. The role played by Mn NPs in enhancing the optical behaviors are analyzed and discussed. The XRD patterns confirm the amorphous nature of the glass. The UV-Vis-NIR spectra reveal seven prominent absorption bands of Sm3+ ions. The photoluminescence spectra display four peaks corresponding to 4G5/2→6H5/2, 4G5/2 →6H7/2, 4G5/2→6H9/2 and 4G5/2 →6H11/2 transitions. An enhancement in the luminescence intensity is observed up to 0.05 mol% concentration of NPs and the intensity quenches beyond it. The enhancement is attributed to local electric field effect of NPs in the proximity of Sm3+ ion. Our results on improved optical response via precise control of NPs contents may be useful for the development of solid state lasers and amplifiers.

Glass compositions xPbO : 20Na2O : (80-x)B2O3 (x = 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50 and 55 %mol) have been prepared using melt-quenching method. The density and molar volume of these glass samples have been found to be compositional dependent. The results indicate that PbO acts on the glass structures were different between the range 0≤ x ≤ 20 %mol and beyond x = 20 %mol (with inflection at x = 20 %mol). These due to the PbO can enter the glass network both as a network modifier and also as a network former. This role depends on the type of bond between lead and oxide. These results are interpreted in term of IR analysis.

Five distinguish glass samples were prepared by melt quenching technique of the composition (81-x)H3BO3-19BaCO3-xDy2O3 with x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mol%. The effect of Dy3+ to the barium borate glass can be investigated in terms of their physical properties such as density, molar volume and oxygen packing density. The structural properties were analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The result revealed that the increment of mol% of Dy3+ in the compound generally will increases the density and molar volume of the glass samples. The amorphous nature of the glass system was verified from the XRD spectra pattern. Meanwhile, the FTIR spectra shown the presence of Ba2+, BO3, BO4, B-O-B linkage, H-O-H and isolated borate in the glass network.

Spectroscopic investigations of V2O5 doped ZnO–Sb2O3–B2O3glass system was prepared by melt-quenching technique. ZnO–Sb2O3–B2O3 glasses containing varying concentrations of V2O5 ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 mol% were prepared, here spectroscopic studies such as Optical absorption, IR and ESR spectra have been carried out as a function of vanadium ion concentration. The optical absorption spectrum of glasses has exhibited two broad absorption bands corresponding to 2B2→2B1 and 2B2→2E transitions of VO2+ ions. The appearances of vibration bands in IR spectra are characteristic for B-O-B and V-O-V linkages, showing the network former role of V2O5. Vanadium ions are believed to be present in two possible valence states, namely V4+and V5+. Here with increasing presence of V2 O5 in the glass network, vanadium ions mostly exist in V4+state and occupy modifying positions. Such increase obviously suggests most structural disorder in the network as the concentration of V2 O5 is increased.

Bismuth based quaternary glasses with compositions BiBLM: 50Bi2O3–20B2O3–15Li2O–15MO (where MO = ZnO, CdO, BaO, and PbO) were processed by conventional melt quenching. The effectiveness of various modifier oxides on the optical and structural properties of the developed glasses was studied systematically by XRD, DSC, FTIR, Raman, and optical absorption (OA) measurements. The synthesized glass specimens were characterized by XRD and the patterns demonstrated an amorphous nature. The physical characteristics such as molar mass, density, and OPD values were found to increase with an increase in the molar mass of the modifier oxides, while there was a decrement in oxygen molar volume, thus resulting in decrement of complete molar volume of the prepared glasses. From DSC analysis, incorrigible reduction and enhancement of Tg and thermal stability among various modifier oxides in the glass network was noticed. Optical absorption data for glass specimens have confirmed the decrease in both direct and indirect optical band gap values among various modifier oxides incorporation. These investigations support the obtained Urbach energy (UE) and metallization criteria of synthesized glasses. The ionic characteristic for the glass specimens were confirmed by the values of electronic polarizability and electronegativity. The Raman and FT-IR spectra of the glass specimens displayed the existence of BiO3, BiO6, ZnO4, CdO4, BaO4, BO3, PbO4, and BO4 structural units within the glass matrix. These structural results can support the applications of as-developed glasses in the area of photonics.

Abstract Glasses in the system xNd2O3-(46-x)B2O3-27CaO-24.4Na2O-2.6 P2O5 (0 ≤ x ≤ 4 mol%) have been prepared via conventional melt quenching technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra have showed that the amorphous structure is dominant in glasses of Nd2O3 concentrations ≤ 0.5 mol%. But formation of a more ordered structure is confirmed at higher Nd2O3 values. Result based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) shows an increase in glass transition temperature (Tg) with increasing Nd2O3 at expense of B2O3 contents. Vicker hardness (Hv) and density (D) are used to correlate the glass structure with its properties. The measured density is found to be increased whereas the molar volume is decreased with increasing Nd2O3 content. The calculated molar volume (Vm) and free spaces (Vf) are both decreased due to filling process which is suggested to be carried out by Nd3+ of larger size than that of B3+. Decreasing of Vm and Vf can reflect the increase in bridging bonds in the glass network which in turns results in increasing of both Tg and of the investigated compositions.

The goal of this research was the systematic study and comparison of the divided individual effects of UV light irradiation and water leaching during artificial weathering. Spruce (Picea abies Karst.) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) samples were irradiated by ultraviolet (UV) light. Another sequence of samples was treated with the combination of UV irradiation and water leaching. The total extent of UV treatment was 20 days for both series of samples. Time relation of UV irradiation and water leaching was 2:1. The chemical changes were observed by FTIR spectroscopy. The difference spectrum was used for determination of the chemical changes. Degradation of lignin was greater for the leached samples than for the pure UV treated samples. Scots pine suffered greater lignin degradation than spruce, and produced higher absorption increase on the absorption region of unconjugated carbonyls. The unconjugated carbonyl groups were the most responsive chemical elements to leaching. Spruce was more susceptible to leaching of unconjugated carbonyl groups than Scots pine. Two absorption bands of unconjugated carbonyl groups at 1706 and 1764 cm−1 wavenumbers were produced by photodegradation. The absorption band at 1764 cm−1 was more sensitive to water leaching than the band at 1706 cm−1.

Abstract Two new organic-inorganic hybrid materials, (C6H10N2).Cl2 (I) and [C6H10N2]2ZnCl4 (II), have been synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and XRD pattern investigations. These two compounds are crystallized in the monoclinic system; C2/c space group. In the both structures, the anionic-cationic entities are interconnected by hydrogen bonding contacts and p-p Interaction forming three-dimensional networks. Intermolecular interactions were investigated by Hirshfeld surfaces and the contacts of the four different chloride atoms in (II) were compared. The vibrational absorption bands were identified by infrared spectroscopy. These compounds were also investigated by solid state 13C NMR spectroscopy.

Sulfated derivatives of polysaccharides have anticoagulant, hypolipedimic and other biological activity. In this work, a complex mixed ester of galactomannan, its sulfate-citrate, was obtained for the first time. The introduction of citrate and sulfate groups was proved by FTIR spectroscopy by the appearance of corresponding absorption bands. It was shown by X-ray diffraction that the introduction of the citrate group leads to the amorphization of the galactomannan structure.
