Abstract
CeO2 shows interesting redox atmosphere dependent properties and ionic polarizing behavior in glass. In this paper, we report the fabrication and characterization of diamagnetic glass with composition of xCeO240PbO50Bi2O3(10−x) B2O3 (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 1mol%). The Ce3+ and Ce4+ co-existence influences the glass forming ability, glass structure and properties through characterization such as X-ray diffraction, XPS, Raman, UV/ Fourier transforms infrared spectra and Faraday rotation measurement.Due to the high optical basicity and high polarization of host glass, Ce4+ formed in 0.1% CeO2 doped glass and improved the glass thermal stability, optical cutoff and Verdet constant (0.1304min/g·cm).
