Abstract
This research work aims to the estimation of the effect of the addition of La2O3, by different amounts in wt. %, to the matrix of the bismuth calcium borate glass. The fast cooling procedure was used to prepare the suggested compositions. XRD was used to inspecting the internal structural phases of the prepared samples, where XRD patterns confirmed the amorphous natures of all samples. It was found that the La-additives act to increase the glass density, micro hardness, and optical absorption. While the plasma treatment using N2 acted to reduce both the relative intensity of XRD and the optical absorption.
