Abstract
The structure of soda-calcia-magnesia-silicate glasses doped with rare-earth fluoride (NdF3) was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The density and microhardness have been investigated in order to study the effect of doping NdF3 on the physical properties of the studied glasses. The results showed that the density of glasses increases with the increase in NdF3 contents. While, the increase of NdF3 contents led to decrease the microhardness values of the studied samples. The AC electrical properties of samples were measured in the frequency interval 100 Hz up to 1 MHz. The increase of NdF3 doping generally increases the conductivity and dielectric constants of the samples slightly. The obtained experimental data from samples were discussed based on the internal structure of the glass and the distribution of its constituents, connectivity and number of free charges or broken bonds.
