Abstract

Quadruple glass system with the composition 60SiO2 -35Pb3O4 – (5-x) ZnO- x WO3, where (\(0 \le x \le 5\)mol %) was synthesized by the classic quenching method. X-ray diffractograms prove the amorphous description of present glasses. Some physical parameters like density, molar volume, oxygen packing density, interionic distance are investigated. These parameters were found to be dependent on tungsten ions in PZS glasses. Optical spectra are measured at ordinary temperature. The dispersion issues as refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k) are established in the wavelength range of 300–2500 nm. The energy band gap(Eg) and Urbach energy(Eu) with indirect and direct transitions are assessed using the Tauc model. It is found that the optical energy band gap shifts toward lower energy with increasing tungsten ions in the glass samples. It decreases from 2.815 eV to 2.41 eV and from 2.917 eV to 2.791 eV for indirect and direct band gaps calculation respectively, with increasing WO3 ions concentration from 0 to 5 mol%. The constant of dielectric function in form of real and imaginary parts are examined. Additional physical issues as steepness, skin depth, cut-off wavelength, dissipation factor, optical and electrical conductivities, molar reflectivity, molar polarizability, optical basicity, electronic polarizability and electronegativity are estimated as well.
