Abstract

Bismuth phosphate glasses of the basic composition (Bi2O3 30 mol%-P2O5 70 mol%) with additional dopants 3d TM oxides (0.2 wt%) were prepared by the melting and annealing technique. Combined optical (UV/vis.) and FT infrared absorption spectra were measured for the prepared samples before and after gamma irradiation with a dose of 8 Mrad (8×104 Gy). Optical spectra reveal strong UV absorption bands due to trace iron impurity together with an additional absorption band due to Bi3+ beside characteristic absorption related to specific 3d TM ions with preference for the lower valences due to the reducing effect of phosphate host glass. FTIR spectra show vibrational bands due to phosphate chains with the sharing of absorption bands due to Bi-O vibrations. Gamma irradiation causes limited changes due to the presence of heavy metal Bi3+ ions which show some shielding behavior towards gamma irradiation as revealed by optical and FT infrared absorption measurements. Some suggested photochemical reactions are forward to interpret the changes in the UV spectra beside the formation of an induced phosphorus oxygen hole center (POHC) in the visible region.
