Estimation of physical and nonlinear optical parameters of vanadate glasses

Abstract

Semiconducting Vanadate (V2O5 based) glass has plentiful application in the field of electrochemical batteries and optical switches. Theoretical investigation for density and molar volume are done for semiconducting glass with composition 60V2O5.(40-x) ZnO.xMoO3 (x=10,13,16,19,22). The density decreases from 4.168-4.057g/cm3 with increasing MoO3 content and an opposite behavior is observed for Molar volume. Using Lorentz- Lorenz equation index of refraction is calculated and found to be very high (4.103 to 3.920) and Oxide ion polarizability varies little in the range 2.6935- 2.6908A3. Using generalized Miller’s rule, third order nonlinear optical susceptibility found to be very high 2.39x10−6 to 1.61x10−6 esu. and Nonlinear Index of Refraction varies from 2.194x10−5 to 1.555x10−5esu.Semiconducting Vanadate (V2O5 based) glass has plentiful application in the field of electrochemical batteries and optical switches.
