Abstract: | Glass ceramics with the composition xFe(2)O(3)·(100-x)[7GeO(2)·3PbO(2)] where 0≤x≤60 mol% were obtained and studied using XRD, FTIR and UV-vis spectroscopy investigations. Heat treatment of glass samples at 400°C for 8 h led to the formation of α, γ-PbGe(4)O(9), Pb(3)Fe(2)Ge(4)O(14) and PbO(1.44) crystalline phases. The content of these crystalline phases depends of Fe(2)O(3) concentration. FTIR spectroscopy data suggest that the lead ions have a pronounced affinity towards [GeO(5)] structural units containing non-bridging oxygens and [FeO(4)] anions producing formation of the Pb(3)Fe(2)Ge(4)O(14) crystalline phase. The introduction of low concentrations of Fe(2)O(3) into the host matrix results in the formation of new absorption UV bands between 320 and 450 nm. These bands arise from to the d-d transitions of the Fe(+3) ions. The light absorption in the range from 250 to 600 nm increases with increasing iron oxide content in matrix network, accompanied with the changes on color from white to brown yellow and darker brown. |
