Density and FTIR Studies of Multiple Transition Metal Doped Borate Glass

Glass samples of compositions xCuO-(30-x) ZnO-70B₂O₃ and xMnO₂-(30-x) ZnO- 70B₂O₃ (where x =5 to 10 mol %) are prepared in the glass forming region. FTIR and density measurements are carried out for these glasses. IR transmission gives valuable information about the nature of bonds present in the glass matrix. It has been observed that, density of MnO₂-ZnO-B₂O₃ glasses has greater value. This is observed that the atomic structure changes more with the incorporation of MnO₂.
