Structural and Elastic Studies of Strontium Doped Manganese Borate Glasses

Abstract

Ternary Strontium Borate glasses were prepared using the conventional meltquenching method. Longitudinal and shear velocities were measured at 4 MHz at room temperature by Pulse Echo technique. Density is measured using the Archimedes principle. Elastic properties, Debye Temperature and micro hardness have been investigated using the measured velocities and densities. Results indicate that these parameters increase as the composition of SrO increases in the manganese borate glasses.
