Optical and Physical Properties of Cu-Co Doped in Soda Lime Silicate Glasses

Abstract

Co/Cr co-doped in soda lime silicate (SLS) glasses were prepared by using normal melt quenching technique. The current composition was prepared based on the proposed ratio: (64.9-x)SiO2: 10CaO: 25Na2O: 0.1CuO: xCoO where x=0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 mol% were prepared at 1200°C for 3 h, and annealed at 500 °C for 3 h. The physical and optical properties of Co/Cr co-doped in SLS glasses were investigated such as density, molar volume, refractive index and optical absorption were discussed and measured. The optical absorption spectrum of Co/Cr co-doped in SLS glasses measured at room temperature in the wavelength region 200–1100 nm were presented.
