Abstract
Glasses having the composition, [(70-x) mol% B2O3- x mol% Bi2O3- 10 mol% BaO- 20 mol% Na2O, where 0≤ x ≤20], have been prepared by the melt quenching method. Density, molar volume, infrared analysis, optical parameters and Electrical properties have been thoroughly investigated. It was found that, both density and molar volume increased with the gradual replacement of B2O3 by Bi2O3 and the comparison between their experimental and empirical values confirm the amorphous nature and the random structure of all samples. The obtained infrared results indicated that different structural borate groups appeared such as BO4 units (in di-, tri- and penta-borate groups) and BO3 units (in meta- and ortho-borate chains). Also, both BiO3 and BiO6 are present in all Bi doped glasses, and the BiO3 / BiO6 ratio appeared to be approximately stable as Bi2O3 was increased to 15 mol%, then it showed a jump increase when BiO3 reached 20 mol%. The optical band gap energy and cut-off wavelength increased with the increase of Bi2O3 while Urbach energy decreased. On the other hand, the electrical conductivity decreased as Bi2O3 was gradually replaced by B2O3, while the activation energy increased and all samples exhibit semi-conductors behavior and the values of the exponent factor decreased gradually with temperature, which is compatible with the correlated barrier hopping conduction mechanism.
