| Summary: | Mixed alkali borosilicate glasses doped with 2% vanadium oxide were synthesized by conventional melt-quench method. The Micro structure of the materials was analysed using XRD, SEM and EDX spectrum. Optical nature of glasses was studied by computing optical bandgaps with absorption spectral data. Covalent nature of glasses was estimated correlating optical bandgap energy with EPR spectral data. The metallization criterion of glasses was evaluated from the physical parameters. FTIR and Raman spectral techniques were used to identify the structural groups of the borates and silicates that are formed with addition of modifiers. Emission spectra were recorded at excitation wavelength of 350 nm and their thermal nature was also studied using TGA/DTA techniques. |
