FTIR Spectra of Molybdenum Tellurite Glasses

Abstract

A series of binary tellurite glasses in the form TeO2(100-x) - MoO3(x) when [x=10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 55wt%] were prepared. FTIR spectra were measured in the range (4000-200) cm-1 and (2000-200) cm-1 respectively. The peak positions were measured and correlated to the composition and structure of the glasses .Results were compared with the crystalline states of TeO2. The FTIR spectra of these glass systems indicate that the modified oxides are connected to the chains of TeO4 units.
