Abstract

Physical characteristics, vibrational modes, optical characteristics of new glasses of 64.9B2O3–10ZnO–25NaF–0.1CoO–xY2O3: x = 0.0 (Y0.0) ≤ x ≤ 1.0 (Y1.0) mol% have been examined. Amorphously grade of the proposed glass systems examined via the quantifying of XRD. Samples density (ρ) enhanced from 2.9452 ± 0.0001 g.cm−3 to 3.0156 ± 0.0001 g.cm−3 and the molar volume (Vm) varied between 21.6957 ± 0.0001 cm3.mol−1 and 21.9364 ± 0.0001 cm3.mol−1 as an increase of Y+3 ions molar fraction from 0.0 to 1.0 mol% in the glass network. The slope of density and molar volume was 0.07043 and 0.24201, respectively as the Y3+ ions in the glass structure.The oxygen molar volume (OMV) decreased from 10.583 cm3.mol−1 at [Y2O3] = 0 mol% to 10.546 at [Y2O3] = 1.0 mol%, following a linear functional behavior. Also, the oxygen packing density (OPD) increased from 94.493 g.atom.l−1 to 94.819 g.atom.l−1, corresponding to a fractional change of 0.345%. The FTIR spectroscopy approved that the Y+3 ions caused partially backed alteration between [BO4] and [BO3] units. The Vis- range consist of three smaller bands related 4T1g (F) → 2T1g (H) octa-, 4A2 (4F) → 4T1(4P) tetrahedral transitions of Co2+ cations, while 5T2g → 5Eg octahedral-transitions of Co3+cations. The estimated values of energy gap (Eg) were 2.93 (± 0.01 eV), 3.10 (± 0.01 eV), 3.12 (± 0.01 eV), 3.13 (± 0.01 eV), and 3.16 (± 0.01 eV) for the 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.0 mol% of Y2O3 doped glasses, respectively. There was a minor reduce trend of nonlinear refractive index (n2) between 5.81 × 10–11 (esu) and 4.79 × 10–11 (esu) at 0 and 1 mol% of Y2O3. Results showed that the suggested glasses could be promising for various optical applications.
