Abstract
Nd3+ doped lithium borotellurite glasses were successfully been prepared by conventional melt-quenching method with the chemical composition (70.0)B2O3-(5.0)TeO2-(25.0-x) Li2CO3-xNd2O3 (where x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 2.0 mol%) by varying the Neodymium content. The physical properties such as density, molar volume and oxygen packing density were measured. The structural properties have been studied through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The XRD pattern has been used to confirm the amorphous nature of the glass samples. There are no sharp peaks were observed in XRD patterns of the glass samples which confirmed the amorphous nature of the glass. FTIR spectra were used to analyse the functional groups present in the glass samples. The FTIR spectra reveal the presence of B-O-B, B-O, BO3, BO4,Te-O and characteristic of the hydrogen bond in the prepared glass samples.
