Impact Of Tio2 On Physical And Optical Properties Of Borosilicate Glasses

Abstract

The effect of TiO₂ into a borosilicate glass matrix is investigated for structural and optical properties. Glass samples with varying TMO concentrations were prepared using the melt-quench technique. X-ray diffraction confirmed the amorphous nature of the synthesized samples. The FTIR studies showed structural changes with TiO₂ addition. The UV–Vi’s spectroscopy demonstrated a red shift in optical absorption profiles. The optical band gap and Urbach energy are also discussed. The improved optical properties of the prepared samples were observed on TiO₂ doping.
