Abstract

Dysprosium oxide doped sodium borosilicate glasses were prepared in this study using a usual melt-quenching process. Further XRD, FTIR, density measurements, electrical conductivity, and dielectric properties were utilized to explore the prepared glassy samples. We found that all produced samples exhibit amorphous nature through X-ray diffraction. Increase in density and molar volume were found when dysprosium oxide concentration increased, which was ascribed to dysprosium oxide's greater molecular weight. Density data was used to calculate and explain several physical characteristics, including rare earth ion concentration (N), polaron radius (rp), internuclear distance (ri), and field strength (F).
