The optical absorption spectra of the glasses were measured at room temperature in the wavelength range between 190 and 1100 nm, and the refractive indices of the glasses were measured at room temperature at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. The optical absorption spectra indicated that the electronic transition was indirect and associated with the phonon-assisted transition. From the absorption spectra, the optical energy band gap (Eopt) and Urbach energy (EU) values for all of the glass samples were calculated from their ultraviolet edges. The values of Eopt and EUwere found to be in the range of 3.54–3.81 eV and 0.27–0.45 eV, respectively, both of which vary in a non-linear manner, with a turning point at 15 mol% of ZnO. The composition-dependence of these values has been suggested and analyzed in the light of switching role of Mg2+ based on its anomalous natural behavior from network builder to modifier depending upon its concentration. The values of refractive index ranged from 1.513 to 1.534. Variations in these optical parameters, as well as variations in density and molar volume are discussed and correlated with the structural changes within the glassy matrix. 2014-03-10T13:35:58Z 2014-03-10T13:35:58Z 2013-01 Article Optical Materials, vol.35 (3), 2013, pages 629-633 0925-3467 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/32490 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.optmat.2012.10.013 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0925346712004338 en Elsevier
