Abstract:Bismuth based borate glasses with combination B2O3 –Bi2O3 – Gd2O3 - K2O-Li2O (BBiGdKLi) were prepared by melt-quenching method at 1250 °C for thermal and structural properties investigation.. Glass transition temperature (Tg) was observed at 681 K in heat capacity (Cp) vs temperature plot. As the temperature increases the specific heat or heat capacity also increases but a sudden fall in Cp was noticed at 962 K which is known to be crystalline temperature (Tc) of BBiGdKLi glass. Borate units comprising non-bri… Show more
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.
