Study Of The Structure And Some Physical Properties Of Sodium-Boro-Phosphate Glasses Containing Antimony And Iron Oxides, Karam Abdel-Aati̇ Ali, Ahmet Gamal El-Din Mostafa

Turkish Journal of Physics

Boro-phosphate glasses containing transition metal oxides are of special interest. Hence, some sodium-Boro-phosphate glasses containing iron and antimony oxides were prepared and investigated. The structural investigation indicated the presence of different borate groups as well as tetragonal phosphate units. Most of the iron cations were found to occupy the low spin Fe^{3 +} in the tetrahedral coordination state. It was observed that some antimony act as network former cations and some others act as bridges between any two adjacent polyhedra. At high antimony oxide content, the formation of some Sb-Fe bonds was also detected. The magnetic susceptibility measurements showed a …


Studies On Some Lithium-Borate Glasses Containing Iron And Copper, G. A. Yahya Jan 2003

Studies On Some Lithium-Borate Glasses Containing Iron And Copper, G. A. Yahya

Turkish Journal of Physics

A lithium-borate-glass system containing iron and copper cations has been thoroughly investigated, in order to obtain information about the structural role of both the iron and copper in such glass hosts. The amorphous phase of the prepared glass samples was confirmed from their X-ray diffraction. From the infrared spectra it was concluded that the glass networks are highly deformed and boron appeared in both tri- and tetra-hedral coordination states as well as in some ring structure. As copper was introduced, replacing lithium, it acts as a network modifier only while the iron acts as network former (FeO_4). The molar magnetic …
