The Role of Bi2O3 as a Network Modifier and a Network Former in Xbi(2)O(3)Center-Dot(1-X)LiBO2 Glass System
The effect of Bi2O3 on the glass transition temperature, electrical conductivity and structure of LiBO2 glass has been investigated. T-g vs. composition curve shows three different linear regions, while there is an overall decrease in T-g with the increase in Bi2O3 content. The slope of these three straight lines is in a decreasing order. These results are interpreted in terms of the increase in the number of non-bridging oxygen atoms, substitution of Bi-O bond in place of B-O bond and change in Li+ ion concentration. The conductivity vs. composition curve exhibits two maxima which are interpreted in terms of the structural modification effect of Bi2O3 on LiBO2 network and mixed-former effect, respectively. Results obtained from the XPS studies of the samples of composition x less than or equal to 0.005, have shown that the number of non-bridging oxygen atoms from B-O bond increases with the increase in Bi2O3 content. It has a maximum value at x = 0.003 where the conductivity has also exhibited a maximum value. Further increase of Bi2O3 content causes decrease in it. For higher Bi2O3 content (x > 0.005), O 1s spectra of Bi2O3 has been separated out from that of B2O3. Bismuth ions have been substituted for boron ions as network former ions.
