description In this article, structural, thermal, and optical properties of zinc boro-aluminosilicate glasses with addition of different alkali (Li, Na, and K) and alkaline oxides (Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba) have been reported. 10 mol% of alkali and alkaline oxides were incorporated into Zinc boro-aluminosilicate glasses and all these glasses possess high optical quality. Samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDAX), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and optical absorption spectroscopy. The XRD and SEM measurements demonstrated the amorphous origin for all the prepared glasses and EDAX confirms that all the elements are presented in the prepared glasses. The presence of various functional groups such as triangular and tetrahedral-borate (BO3 and BO4) was confirmed by ATR-FTIR and Raman spectra, and both of the ATR-FTIR and Raman spectra show lower phonon energy for H3 (K2O) in alkali series, and H7 (BaO) for alkaline. From TGA analysis we found a lower weight loss < 0.1% in K2O, MgO, and BaO; and from the DSC profiles the glass transition temperature (Tg), onset crystallization temperature (Tx), crystallization temperature (Tc), and melting temperature (Tm) were identified and related different thermal parameters are evaluated. Alkali and alkaline influenced Zinc boro-aluminosilicate glasses demonstrate excellent glass stability. From the optical absorption spectra, we calculated cut-off wavelength and it shows spectral shifting to longer wavelength with alkali (Li → Na → K), and alkaline (Mg → Ca → Sr → Ba) modifiers. We investigated optical band gap energy also for allowed transitions in UV–visible region using three methods; direct, indirect, and absorption spectrum fitting (ASF).
