Abstract

Manganese(II) borate glasses with chemical composition (55 − x)B2O3-25Li2O-10Na2O-5CaO-3SrO-2Al2O3-xMnO2: x = 0.0 (G1)–2.0 (G5) mol.% were successfully prepared using the traditional melt quenching route, and the physical properties, optical characteristics, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were investigated. The density (Ds) increased from 2.367 g/cm3 to 2.510 g/cm3, and the molar volume (Vm) decreased from 25.31 cm3/mol to 24.01 cm3/mol. The average boron–boron distance ‹dB–B› decreased from 3.60 nm to 3.54 nm, whereas the ion concentration (NMn) increased from 0.118 × 1020 ions/cm3 to 5.02 × 1020 ions/cm3 as the MnO2 increased from 0.0 mol.% to 2 mol.% in the glass network. The packing density (Pd) values increased from 0.49 to 0.51, but the free volume Vf enhanced from 0.278 × 1016 g/mol cm2 to 3.38 × 1016 g/mol cm2 as MnO2 increased. FTIR spectroscopy showed the change in internal structure and confirmed that [BO3] units favor a coordination change to [BO4] over creating non-bridging oxygen (NBO). The optical band gap (Eg) decreased with increasing MnO2 content from 0.0 mol.% to 0.4 mol.%, then increased with increasing MnO2 content from 1 mol.% to 2 mol.%. Urbach energy (ΔE) values between 0.242 eV and 0.529 eV were obtained by increasing MnO2 in the glass matrix.
