Spectroscopic, Structural, Thermal, and Mechanical Properties of B2O3-CeO2-PbO2 Glasses
The melt-quenching method has been used to fabricate a PbO 2 –B 2 O 3 –CeO 2 glass system. The XRD diffractometer procedure was used to check the status of these samples. It can be concluded, from the X-ray diffraction curves, that the tested samples have high levels of glassiness. As the CeO 2 conc...

glass system. The XRD diffractometer procedure was used to check the status of these samples. It can be concluded, from the X-ray diffraction curves, that the tested samples have high levels of glassiness. As the CeO

concentration increased most of the [BO

] structural units with the formation of non-bridging oxygen ions in the borate matrix. It can be cross verified with the decrease of the
N

fraction from 0.654 to 0.239. This decrease may be attributed to the formation of [CeO
7
] structural units that needs more oxygen atoms. The ultrasonic velocities of the prepared glasses are decreased with the increase of CeO
2
content. Different types of elastic modules were evaluated (experimental and theoretical) for the prepared glasses are increases with the increase of CeO
2
content. Glass transition temperature (T
g
), crystallization temperature (T
c
), the peak of crystallization temperature (T
p
) and thermal stability values decreases with the increase of CeO
2
content. The refractive index of these samples is increasing with the increase in the reflection and the density. |
