Abstract

Neodymium doped borotellurite glass is well known to be one of the most promising candidate due to it various applications. Nd³⁺ doped lead borotellurite glasses containing silver were successfully been prepared by conventional melt-quenching method with the chemical composition (69.5-x)TeO₂-20B₂O₃-10PbO-0.5Nd₂O₃-xAgNO₃ (where x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol %). The physical properties such as density, molar volume and oxygen packing density were measured. Their structural properties of the glass system were studied via X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. From the result, the amorphous nature of the prepared glass samples have been confirmed through X-ray diffraction spectral analysis. The presence of Te-O-Te or O-Te-O, Ag-O, Te-O-Pb and B-O and characteristic of the hydrogen bond in the prepared glasses were explored through the FTIR spectral studies recorded in the 400-4000 cm^-1 wave number range at room temperature. Meanwhile, the results of physical properties are found to vary with respect to concentration of AgNO₃ content. Some other results will be reported and discussed.

Kaca borotelurit di dop neodimium merupakan salah satu bahan yang diyakini disebabkan oleh kepelbagaian aplikasinya. Kaca borotelurit di dop Nd³⁺ mengandungi perak telah berjaya disediakan dengan kaedah konvensional sepuh lindap dengan komposisi kimia (69.5-x)TeO₂-20B₂O₃-10PbO-0.5Nd₂O₃-xAgNO₃ (di mana x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 dan 2.5 mol%). Sifat-sifat fizikal seperti ketumpatan, isipadu molar dan ketumpatan padat oksigen telah diukur. Sifat-sifat struktur sistem kaca ini telah dikaji melalui analisis pembelauan sinar-X (XRD) dan spektroskopi inframerah transformasi Fourier (FTIR). Dari hasil kajian, sifat semulajadi amorfus sampel kaca yang disediakan telah disahkan melalui analisis spektra pembelauan sinar-X. Kehadiran Te-O-Te atau O-Te-O, Ag-O, Te-O-Pb, B-O dan ciri-ciri ikatan hidrogen dalam kaca yang disediakan telah diterokai melalui kajian spektra FTIR yang direkodkan dalam julat gelombang 400-4000 cm^-1 pada suhu bilik. Sementara itu, hasil kajian bagi sifat fizikal didapati berubah mengikut kepekatan kandungan AgNO₃. Beberapa keputusan lain akan dilaporkan dan dibincangkan.
