Infrared Spectroscopy of Cupric Oxide Doped Barium Phosphate Glass

Abstract

CuO powders were doped with barium phosphate glass with a series of xCuO-(20 - x) BaO-30ZnO-10Na(2)O-40P(2)O(5) in molar ratio with (x = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12) were prepared by conventional quenching melts technique. FTIR transmission spectra have been carried out. The most active peaks were observed in the region from 450 cm(-1) to 1700 cm(-1). FT-IR spectra were analyzed to determine and differentiate the various vibrational modes by applying a deconvolution method to the FT-IR spectra. The density has been measured by the conventional Archimedes method, molar volume were calculated and found the density and molar volume are trend in the same direction by increases the CuO contents.
