Abstract

This paper deals with Synthesis and characterization of multicomponent bismuth silicate glasses, formulated as xCdO.(5-x)V2O5.20Bi2O3.65SiO2.10Na2O, where x varies from 0 to 5%, employing the conventional Melt-Quench technique. The non-crystalline nature of glass was confirmed through X-ray diffractometry. To determine band gaps and understand optical properties, UV–Vis DRS was employed. A systematic exploration of varying cadmium oxide (CdO) concentrations unveiled a consistent increase in glass density accompanied by a simultaneous decrease in molar volume. Higher cadmium ionic concentrations were associated with an elevated oxygen packing density (OPD), indicating a more densely packed glass structure. Optical transmission studies revealed a bandgap and a refractive index spanning from 2.51 to 2.29. These glasses proved effective as UV band reject filters, maintaining transparency in the visible region without compromising clarity. The analysis of calculated parameters, including ionic concentration and inter-ionic radii, provided insightful correlations into the structural aspects of the glass network. Infrared (IR) spectra analysis showcased prevalent structural units, such as [BiO6], [BiO3], and [SiO4] vibrations. These comprehensive findings establish a foundation for tailoring glass compositions for specific applications in optics, radiation shielding, and protective coatings.
