The present work scrutinizes the radiation protection features and mechanical characteristics of neodymium zinc-tellurite of composition [(TeO2)70-(ZnO)30]1-x –(Nd2O3)x: x= 0-5 mol% in steps of 1 (TZNd1 – 5). The Makishima–Mackenzie’s model was adopted for the computation of the Poisson’s ratio (PR) and elastic moduli. WinXcom and EXABCal software’s were performed to evaluate the radiation shielding […]
Samarium oxide (Sm2O3) and ytterbium oxide (Yb2O3) doped tungsten-tellurite glasses (TWSm), (TWYb) in the forms of 80 (TeO2) – (20-x) (WO3) – x (Sm2O3) and 80 (TeO2) – (20-x) (WO3) – x (Yb2O3) with x = 0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 mol% were prepared by the melt-quenching technique. The XRD analysis for the […]
AbstractThe study of optical and thermal properties of gadolinium oxide-doped tellurite glass was studied for the first time to the best of our knowledge. Gadolinium oxide-doped tellurite glass system with chemical formula (1 − x)[(TeO2)70(B2O3)30]-x(Gd2O3) with x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mol% was prepared by the melt-quenching technique. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–Vis spectroscopy […]
This work deals with the theoretical analysis of ultrasonic relaxation in the glass system xNb2O5 – (100− x) TeO2 glasses, and 4 ≤ x ≤22.5 mole %. The parameters of the theoretical analysis deal with the transmission of ultrasonic waves through dual-well potential. The parameters are alternate potential energy, centers of energy loss, and elongation […]
