Abstract
The Mossbauer spectrum of xK2O·(95−x)TiO2·5Fe2O3 glasses (x=35–60), consisting of a paramagnetic doublet peak due to tetrahedral Fe3+, suggests that the Fe3+ is substituted for the tetrahedral Ti4+. The isomer shift (δ=0.20–0.23 mm s−1) and the quadrupole splitting (Δ=0.72–0.81 mm s−1) decrease linearly with the increasing K2O content. The glass transition temperature (Tg) decreases similarly as the Δ does, supporting the “Tg−Δ rule” discovered by Nishida et al., i.e., the Tg of oxide glasses is expressed by Tg=aΔ+b. (The slope “a” is 680 °C mm−1 s.) The IR absorption spectra show two peaks at 880 and 640 cm−1 corresponding to the Ti(Fe)O4 and TiO6 units, respectively. The relative absorption intensity of the Ti(Fe)O4 units becomes higher when the K2O content increases. The potassium titanate glasses (plate) show IR transparency, having the transmission edge of 5.4 μm. The Mossbauer spectrum of xCaO·(95−x)TiO2·5Fe2O3 ceramics (x=5–50) consists of two doublet peaks due to Fe3+ and Fe2+. Both the δ and Δ of...
