Structural investigations of GeS2-Ga2S3-CdS chalcogenide glasses using Raman spectroscopy

Raman investigations were carried out for various compositions of chalcogenide glasses in the GeS₂-Ga₂S₃-CdS system. Addition of Ga₂S₃ into GeS₂ results in the formation of metal-metal bonds and edge-shared GaS_4/2 tetrahedra. Ge²⁺ ions may surround [GaS_4/2]¹⁻ tetrahedra acting as charge compensators. Upon the addition of CdS into the GeS₂-Ga₂S₃ system, the number of the metal-metal bonds and edge-shared GaS_4/2 tetrahedra decreases, resulting in the formation of corner-shared tetrahedra with non-bridging sulfurs (NBS). Cd²⁺ ions can be dissolved into the glass network as charge compensators for these NBS and exited few [GaS_4/2]¹⁻ tetrahedra. The high solubility of CdS is ascribed to the dissociation of metal-metal bonds and edge-shared tetrahedra in these Ga-containing glasses.     

NMR Study of a Rare-Earth Aluminoborosilicate Glass with Varying CaO-to-Na<Subscript>2</Subscript>O Ratio

The effect of substituting two Na⁺ by one Ca²⁺ in a rare-earth aluminoborosilicate glass is investigated by multinuclear magic-angle spinning (MAS) and multiple-quantum (MQ)MAS nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Quantitative analysis of the ²³Na and ²⁷Al MAS/MQMAS data along with the ¹¹B MAS NMR data provides complementary information enabling to cast light on different structural key points. A strong decrease of the N ₄ = BO₄/(BO₃ + BO₄) ratio is observed consecutively to this substitution, indicating that sodium is more favorable than calcium to the formation of BO₄ units. The experimental N ₄ ratio is compared to the Dell and Bray model prediction and it is shown that several adjustments, due to the presence in our glass of Nd and Zr, are necessary to obtain acceptable agreement with experimental data. ²⁹Si MAS NMR data also put in evidence an effect of the substitution on the polymerization degree. Glass in glass phase separation is clearly detected when the ratio of CaO to Na₂O is greater than 1 and a different evolution of NMR parameters is observed for the ratio of CaO to Na₂O being less than or equal to 1. Concerning aluminum charge compensation, it is demonstrated that, as long as no phase separation is detected, the negative charge of AlO₄ ⁻ entities is almost exclusively balanced by sodium cations. Finally, changes of the sodium ions organization within the glass network are also evidenced by spin–lattice relaxation and spin echo decay measurements.

Composition dependent structural and optical properties of Sm-doped sodium borate and sodium fluoroborate glasses

Sodium borate and fluoroborate glasses doped with trivalent samarium (Sm³⁺) were prepared and their detailed spectroscopic analysis was carried out. The FTIR spectra reveal that, the glasses contain BO₃, BO₄, non-bridging oxygen and strong OH⁻ bonds. From the optical absorption spectra, Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters (Ω_λ, λ=2, 4 and 6) have been evaluated and are in turn used to predict radiative properties such as radiative transition probability (A), stimulated emission cross section () and branching ratios (β_R) for the excited levels of Sm³⁺ ions in sodium borate and sodium fluoroborate glasses. The dependence of the spectral characteristics of Sm³⁺ ions due to compositional changes have been examined and reported. The value is found to decrease with the decrease in the sodium content in the glass. The decay from the ⁴G_5/2 level is found to be non-exponential indicating a cross-relaxation among the Sm³⁺ ions.     

Dysprosium doped alkali fluoroborate glasses—Thermal, structural and optical investigations

Thermal, structural and optical properties of Dy³⁺-doped alkali fluoroborate glasses with composition (in mol%), 49B₂O₃+25XO+25NaF+1Dy₂O₃ (where X=Li₂, Na₂, K₂, Mg and Ca), have been investigated. Thermal analysis revealed the homogeneous formation of the glasses. The FTIR spectra reveal that the glasses contain BO₃, BO₄ non-bridging oxygen atoms and strong OH⁻ bonds. From the optical absorption spectra, Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters (Ω_λ, λ=2, 4 and 6) have been evaluated and are in turn used to predict radiative properties such as radiative transition probability (A), stimulated emission cross-section () and branching ratios (β_R) for the excited levels of Dy³⁺ ions in alkali fluoroborate glasses. The dependence of the spectral characteristics of Dy³⁺ ions due to compositional changes has been examined and reported.

Effect of Fe2O3 and Cr2O3 on the Processes of Pyroxene Formation in Silicate Glasses

We have investigated the processes of pyroxene formation in crystallization of glasses of the system SiO₂–Al₂O₃–CaO–MgO–Na₂O stimulated with chromium and iron oxides introduced together. It is found that sharp activation of the processes of pyroxene formation occurs in the temperature interval of thermal treatment 850–900°C. Interpretation of the absorption bands is carried out and conclusions are drawn on the structural role of the iron and aluminum ions in the process of formation of a pyroxene solid solution.     

Investigations on spectral features of tungsten ions in sodium lead alumino borate glass system

Na₂O–PbO–Al₂O₃–B₂O₃ (NPAB) glasses mixed with different concentrations of WO₃ (ranging from 0 to 2.5 mol%) are synthesized by conventional melt quenching method. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical absorption, Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic techniques. Glass formation is confirmed by X-ray diffraction spectra. The optical absorption spectra of these glasses exhibited a predominant broad band peak at about 850–870 nm is identified due to d_xy–d_x²_−y² transition of W⁵⁺ ions. From the optical absorption spectral data, optical band gap (E_opt) and Urbach energy (ΔE) are evaluated. From EPR spectra the strength of the signal is increased and hyperfine splitting is resolved with increasing concentration of WO₃ in the glass matrix. The FT-IR spectral studies have pointed out the existence of conventional BO₃, BO₄, B–O–B, PbO₄, WO₄ and WO₆ structural units of these glasses. Various physical properties and optical basicity are also evaluated with respect to the concentration of WO₃ ions.     

A mössbauer investigation of non-bridging oxygens in Na2O-Fe2O3-B2O3 glasses

Mössbauer measurements of sodium borate glasses 4 Fe₂O₃· x Na₂O· (96-x) B₂O₃ (x=6, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30) have been carried out. It was found that Fe³⁺ is present in both octahedral and tetrahedral sites, whereby the tetrahedral sites are preferred. In the range of Na₂O contents higher than about 15 mol%, the isomer shifts and quadrupole splittings for Fe³⁺ decrease continuously with increasing Na₂O concentration. These changes could be attributed to the formation of non-bridging oxygens (NBO) in the neighborhood of ferric ions. Increasing Na₂O content thus gives rise to more NBO increasing the symmetry of the iron polyhedra.     

Electrical conductivity of Ag/Na ion-exchanged titanosilicate glasses

The Ag₂O–TiO₂–SiO₂ glasses were prepared by Ag⁺/Na⁺ ion-exchange method from Na₂O–TiO₂–SiO₂ glasses at 380–450 °C below their glass transition temperatures (T_g), and their electrical conductivities were investigated as functions of TiO₂ content and the ion-exchange ratio (Ag/(Ag+Na)). In a series of glasses 20R₂O·xTiO₂·(80−x)SiO₂ with x=10, 20, 30 and 40 in mol%, the electrical conductivities at 200 °C of the fully ion-exchanged glasses of R=Ag were in the order of 10⁻⁵ or 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹ and were 1 or 2 orders of magnitude higher than those of the initial glasses of R=Na. The glass of x=30 exhibited the highest increase of conductivity from 3.8×10⁻⁷ to 1.3×10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹ at 200 °C by Ag⁺/Na⁺ ion exchange among them. When the ion-exchange ratio was changed in 20R₂O·30TiO₂·50SiO₂ system, the electrical conductivity at 200 °C exhibited a minimum value of 7.6×10⁻⁸ S cm⁻¹ around Ag/(Ag+Na)=0.3 and increased steeply in the region of Ag/(Ag+Na)=0.5–1.0. When the ion-exchange temperature was changed from 450 to 400 °C, the conductivity of the ion-exchanged glass of x=30 decreased. The infrared spectroscopy measurement revealed that the ion-exchange temperature of 450 °C induced a structural change in the glass of x=30. The T_g of the fully ion-exchanged glass of x=30 was 498 °C. It was suggested that the incorporated silver ions changed the average coordination number of titanium ions to form higher ion-conducting pathway and resulted in high conductivity in the titanosilicate glasses.     

Electrical conductivity and tracer diffusion in sodium germanate glasses

Measurements of the electrical conductivity using ac complex impedance techniques and the tracer diffusion coefficient of ²²Na have been performed in a series of (x)Na₂O(1?x) GeO₂ glasses (where 0.0006 ? x ? 0.156). The compositional form of the Haven ratios, calculated from these data, have been interpreted in terms of a single defect model which considers a number of distinctly different jump frequencies for the alkali ion; the magnitude of these different jump frequencies is determined by the proximity of the diffusing alkali ion to a charge-compensating center within the glass network. Attractive interactions between the positive alkali ions and the negative charge-compensating centers cause successive jump directions of the alkali ions to become correlated. In the sodium germanate glasses the negatively-charged centers probably correspond to the six-fold coordinated sites formed upon addition of alkali oxide to GeO₂. These negatively-charged trapping centers correspond to non-bridging oxygen sites in alkali silicate glasses.     

Effect of some doping elements on the ionic conduction of mixed alkali-alumino-borosilicate glasses

Summary Some borosilicate glasses containing an equimolar ratio of different alkali types (K⁺ and Na⁺ ions) doped with 0.1 mole% R (R=Mn, Tb, Y, or Gd) were prepared. The results of d.c. electrical conductivity show that the absolute values of resistivities and the corresponding activation energies for the doped glasses are lower than those for glasses without doped ions. This behaviour is explained on the basis of the formation of elastic dipoles in such glasses and of the change of their fields owing to the existence of the doping ions. By thermal treatment of these glasses, it is found that the activation energies for the doped glasses are different from those obtained for glassess prepared without doping ions. This peculiarity is explained on the basis of the phase separation process in such glasses.

237Np Mössbauer spectroscopy on neptunium doped borosilicate glasses

Mössbauer and magnetization measurements have been carried out on borosilicate glasses containing neptunium. Different melting and annealing times, in various crucibles have been investigated. Using the 59.5 keV Mössbauer resonance in²³⁷Np we have characterized valency states of neptunium ions in glasses and studied hyperfine interactions. Roughly, absorption spectra show two sites easily differenciated above 50 K by two lines. Isomer shifts (relative to NpAl₂) are respectively: – 10.0 (1.0) and + 32.5(.5) mm/s. These resonance lines can be assigned, the first at Np⁴⁺, the second at Np³⁺ species. The intensity ratio Np⁴⁺/Np³⁺ varies with elaboration conditions. At 4.2 K, Np⁴⁺ ions exhibit a hyperfine splitting arising from relaxation phenomenon. Magnetization measurements do not show any magnetic ordering.     

NMR Insights into Wasteforms for the Vitrification of High-Level Nuclear Waste

Magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance of ¹¹B, ²⁹Si and ²⁷Al has been used to study the distribution of nonbridging oxygen atoms (NBO) in an alkali borosilicate glass to which surrogate oxides for high-level radioactive waste have been added. The properties of such glasses are shown to depend on the fraction N ₄ of four-coordinated boron atoms (B4) and on the fraction of silicate tetrahedra possessing one NBO, Q³. The aqueous corrosion rate increases with Q³ content, as does weight loss due to evaporation from the melt. The activation energy for direct current conduction scales with N ₄. Values of N ₄ obtained for these glasses deviate from those predicted by the currently accepted model and are strongly affected by the modifier or intermediate nature of the surrogate oxide and also by its effect on the distribution of NBO between the silicate and borate polyhedra.

Photocatalytic Oxidation of Hydrosulfide Ions by Molecular Oxygen Over Cadmium Sulfide Nanoparticles

Photocatalytic activity of CdS nanoparticles in hydrosulfide-ions air oxidation was revealed and thoroughly investigated. HS⁻ photooxidation in the presence of CdS nanoparticles results predominantly in the formation of SO₃ ²⁻ and SO₄ ²⁻ ions. Photocatalytic activity of ultrasmall CdS crystallites in HS^– photooxidation is much more prononced as compared to bulk CdS crystals due to high surface area of nanoparticles, their negligible light scattering, improved separation of photogenerated charge carriers etc. It was shown that hydrosulfide ions can be oxidized in two ways. The first is HS⁻ oxidation by the CdS valence band holes. This process rate depends on the rate of comparatively slow reaction between molecular oxygen and CdS conduction band electrons. The second reaction route is the chain-radical HS⁻ oxidation induced by photoexcited CdS nanoparticles and propagating in the bulk of a solution. In conditions favourable to chain-radical oxidation of HS⁻(i.e. at low light intensities and CdS concentration and high oxygen and Na₂S concentrations) quantum yields of the photoreaction reach 2.5.     

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of CeO2–Na2O–SiO2 glasses

A series of (CeO₂)_x–(Na₂O)_0.3–(SiO₂)_(0.7−x) glasses, where 0.025 ≤ x ≤ 0.075, have been synthesized and investigated by mean of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Ce 3d spin-orbit doublet was curve fitted in order to quantify the proportions of each cerium oxidation state in these glasses. It was found that Ce ions are predominantly in the Ce(III) state in glasses with compositions x ≤ 0.075, while mixed Ce valences were found in the glass with composition x = 0.10. The O 1s spectra have also been curve fitted with two components, one from bridging oxygen (BO) and the other from non-bridging oxygen atoms (NBO). The measured number of NBO, based on the fact that only oxygen atoms in the site Si–O–Na⁺ contribute to the NBO peak, was found to be constant at ∼35% for all samples, in good agreement with the value calculated from the glass composition and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) suggesting that Ce ions enter the network as a glass intermediate. The thermal measurements done on these glasses agree well with the XPS findings.     

Effect of hydroxyl and oxygen ions on optical stability of F-centers in KBr crystals

The effect of the anionic impurities OH^–, O ₂ ^§- , and O^2– on the optical stability of F-centers in KBr crystals was investigated. It is shown that the stability of F-centers is independent of the presence of hydroxyl ions (OH^–) and molecular oxygen ions (O ₂ ^– ) in the crystal lattice. It is suggested that the low stability of F-centers in KBr-KOH crystals is due to doubly charged oxygen ions.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavendenii, Fizika, No. 10, pp. 107–112, October, 1972.

Solid-state NMR study of bioactive binary borosilicate glasses

A series of binary borosilicate glasses prepared by the sol-gel method are shown to be bioactive. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and trimethylborate (TMB) in acidic medium are used to prepare xB₂O₃·(1−x)SiO₂ glass systems for x=0.045-0.167. The formation of a layer of apatite-like mineral on the glass surface becomes apparent after soaking in simulated body fluid for 48 h. We have measured the ¹¹B-¹¹B homonuclear second moments of the borosilicate glasses and inferred that no macroscopic phase separation occurred in our glasses. The ¹¹B chemical shift data also show that the formation of clustered boroxol rings is negligible in our glass system. Although the bioactivity of our borosilicate glasses is less than that of CaO-SiO₂ sol-gel glasses, these simple binary systems could be taken as reference glass systems for the search of new bioactive borosilicate glasses.
