Abstract
The present work deals with the effect of the sodium content on the thermal, structural, ellipsometric, and THz properties of germanate glasses. The sodium germanate glasses of composition xNa2O.(100-x)GeO2 with 10 ≤x≤ 30 (mol%) are prepared by conventional melt quenching technique. The optical properties of sodium germanate (GN) glass system, including refractive index, dielectric constant, absorption coefficient and transmittance are measured at terahertz (THz) frequencies. High refractive index, n(THz) and high dielectric constant, ԑ(THz) of germanate glasses have been identified in the sub-terahertz region (0.2–1 THz). The wavelength-dependent refractive index, n(λ) has been analyzed with the ellipsometric analysis. The refractive index in the 1.52–1.65 range is obtained at the 550 nm wavelength for the present system. Optical properties are explained based on the structure investigated by Raman spectroscopy. Thermal stability factors are also examined with the differential thermal analysis (DTA) to relate the thermal and THz parameters for THz applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
