Preparation and Characterization of the Structural, Optical, Spectroscopic and Electrical Properties of Pr2O5 doped Borate Glass

Abstract

Abstract We have successfully synthesized Pr2O5 doped borate glasses by conventional rapid melt quench method. The XRD pattern indicates the amorphous nature of Pr2O5 doped borate glass. An optical property of prepared borate glass was studied using the Photoluminescence spectrum. Determination and differentiation of the various vibrational modes were done using FTIR spectroscopy studies. Raman spectroscopy of Pr2O5 doped borate glass was also carried out. Thermal analyses of the glasses were done using the TGA/ DTA and DSC analysis. The dielectric properties such as dielectric constant, the dielectric loss and AC conductivity of the Pr2O5 doped borate glass were studied in the different frequencies and temperature.
