Abstract
To improve and prolong the mechanical performance of rare earth ions modified glasses, the effect of substituting AgCl NPs for B2O3 on the physical, structural and elastic properties of a very rare melt-quenching TDB glasses were appraised through experimental and theoretical approach. The amorphous state, surface morphology alongside elemental composition of the glasses were ascertained by XRD and SEM-EDX, respectively. Longitudinal (VL) and Shear (VS) were attained by performing non-destructive ultrasonic test at 5 MHz frequency. Moreover, the evolution of functional groups and units such as BO3, BO4, TeO3 and TeO4 in our newly developed TDB glasses was exposed by FTIR and Raman analyses. Furthermore, the elastic properties obtained from experiments were compared with theoretical values computed via Makishima-Mackenzie (MM) and Rocherulle et al. models, respectively. In conclusion, a reasonable correlation between the experimental and calculated values of elastic moduli has been established in TDB glasses.
