Abstract

The techniques of melt-quenching have been used to generate 53B2O3—2NaF—27PbO – \((20-x)\) BaO—\(x\) La2O3 \((0\le x \ge 15) glass system\). XRD patterns have been established the amorphous character of glass samples. There is a clear evidence of the role of the La2O3 modifier in the glass network. The thermal characteristics have been identified to increase with an increase in La2O3 content. Increasing La2O3 increases the linear and non-linear optical bandgap energy and the Urbach energy. By adding La2O3 to the glass samples, the refractive index, molar polarizability, polarizability, and optical basicity increased. The bulk modulus and the glass transition temperature increased because of the increase in bond strength. The number of bonds per unit increased with the increase in La2O3 content because of the modifier character of La2O3 in the glass samples. Many optical parameters (ε \(\boldsymbol{\infty }\)), (εo), \({\chi }^{(1)}\), \(\left({\chi }^{(3)}\right)\) and \({(n}_{2})\) as a function of linear and non-linear \({E}_{opt}\) have been obtained. The extent of shielding in this article has been examined with the increment in La2O3 at the expense of BaO. The results correspond with similar studies conducted before.
