Effect of B2O3 on physical, thermal, optical and structural properties of zinc lead selenate glasses
摘要
Glass containing zinc-lead boroselenate glasses with the formula 10ZnO–20PbO2-xB2O3–(70 − x)SeO2 (where 10 ≤ x ≤ 60 mol%) were prepared using the conventional melt quenching method. Several physical properties, including density and molar volume, were determined. Glass transition temperature (Tg) was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), revealing a decrease in Tg from 347 to 426 °C as the B2O3 content increased. Optical absorption studies showed that as the SeO2 content decreased, the cutoff wavelength increased while the optical band gap energy (
