Synthesis and investigation of the physical, structural, and radiation shielding properties of the titano-bismuth phosphate glasses.

The glasses of the 20Li2O–35Li2WO4–(15-x)TiO2–xBi2O3–30P2O5 system with 0 ≤ x ≤ 15 mol% have been prepared using the melt quenching route. X-ray patterns confirmed the amorphous state of the prepared glasses, and the SEM image showed no agglomeration. The structure of these obtained glasses was anal...

The structure of these obtained glasses was analyzed by examining the density and molar volume measurements. It was found that the density increased from 3.873 g/cm3 at LWTBP-0 (x = 0 mol%) to 4.740 g/cm3 at LWTBP-15 (x = 15 mol%). But for the molar volume, this is characterized by an increase in molar volume from 39.282 cm3/mol at LWTBP-0 (x = 0 mol%) to 44.317 cm3/mol at LWTBP-15 (x = 15). Additionally, the oxygen packing density value decreased from 86.554 mol/L (LWTBP-0) to 80.104 mol/L (LWTBP-15), but the oxygen molar volume value increased from 11.553 cm3/mol (LWTBP-0) to 12.484 cm3/mol. This is because the amount of Bi2O3 in the glassy structure increased from x = 0 mol% (LWTBP-0) to x = 15 mol% (LWTBP-15).
