Zinc borosilicate glass (ZBS) with the formula 60ZnO–30B2O3–10SiO2 was prepared by melt‐quenching method and the effect of addition of 0–15 wt% of α‐alumina (Al2O3) on the spectroscopic, dielectric, and optical properties of ZBS has been studied. Structural and microstructural modifications of ZBS with alumina addition were studied using X‐ray diffraction, spectroscopic (Raman and IR) and scanning electron microscopic techniques. The effect of Al2O3 on the photoluminescence properties of ZBS was also investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
