Abstract
Abstract The unconventional Heavy Metal Oxide Glasses (HMOG) are characterized by a low phonon energy, large infrared range transmission, high refractive index and nonlinear optical properties. Ternary glasses have been synthesized and studied in the Sb 2 O 3 – MoO 3 -ZnCl 2 system. Further, the glass formation compositional limits are reported and some glass samples with the formula: (90-x)Sb 2 O 3 -xMoO 3 –10 ZnCl 2 (10 ≤ x ≤ 50, mole%) were elaborated. Thermal properties have been measured and indicating that the glass transition temperature decreases with increasing proportions of molybdenum oxide. The evolution of density, microhardness and elastic modulus has been studied as functions of parameter x and Raman spectra measurements have been shown the partial conversion of MoO 6 octahedral units into MoO 4 tetrahedral.
