Abstract

Abstract The Nb3⁺ doped Zinc Borophosphate glass (30B2O3 +35P2O5+5TiO2+10ZnO+9LiCO3+10 BaCO3+1NbO2) has been synthesized successfully using melt-quenching method. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to find the glass nature of Nb3⁺ doped Zinc Borophosphate glass. The functional group of Nb3⁺ doped Zinc Borophosphate glass was recognized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. Linear optical properties of the Nb3⁺ doped Zinc Borophosphate glass were studied using UV–vis–NIR spectrum in the room temperature. Mechanical behaviour of Nb3⁺ doped Zinc Borophosphate glass was examined through Vicker’s hardness method. The mechanical properties of Nb3⁺ doped Zinc Borophosphate glass was examined with various loads. The emission transitions of Nb3⁺ doped Zinc Borophosphate glass was studied using Photoluminescence analysis. The CIE diagram of the Photoluminescence was examined. Gamma ray shielding parameters such half value layer, mean free path and mass attenuation coefficient of Nb3⁺ doped Zinc Borophosphate glass were studied using Phy-X software.
