Abstract
AbstractBased on the attractive properties of phosphate glass, improved molybdenum phosphate glasses of composition 40P2O5, 20MoO3, 15MgO, (25-x)Li2O, xSrO, [x = 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mol %] were prepared via the melt-quench technique. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–visible reflectance and Electron spin resonance (ESR). FTIR confirmed the existence of several structural phosphate groups other than MoO4 and MoO6 units. Optical analysis revealed the active species of molybdenum ions. SrO addition decreases the bandgap energy, converting the glass insulator features into semiconductor properties. The measured AC electrical conductivity (σac) increased within the temperature range of 298–473(K) and decreased in the frequency range of 0.042 kHz–1 MHz. The estimated DC electrical conductivity increased with temperature, suggesting the semiconducting behavior. The highest electrical conductivity was found in base and 5% SrO samples. Therefore, it appears that the prepared glasses are viable candidates for opto-electronic applications.
