@conference{10902/13075, year = {2017}, month = {5}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/13075}, abstract = {PbO-TeO2 glasses having composition: xPbO–(100 - x)TeO2 (x = 10, 15 and 20 mol%) were prepared by melt quenching and characterized by X-ray diffraction,density measurements, differential scanning calorimetry and Raman spectroscopy. Glass density increases from 5.89 to 6.22 g cm-3 with increase in PbO concentration from 10 to 20 mol%, due to the replacement of TeO2 by heavier PbO. DSC studies found that glass transition temperature (Tg) decreases from a value of 295°C to 281°C. Raman studies found that glass short-range structure consists of TeO4 and TeO3 structural units and that PbO modifies the network by the structural transformation: TeO4 to TeO3.}, publisher = {American Institute of Physics}, publisher = {AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017, 1832, 070022}, publisher = {61st DAE Solid State Physics Symposium, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, 2017}, title = {Short-range structure and thermal properties of lead tellurite glasses}, author = {Kumar, Hirdesh and Kaur, Amarjot and Khanna, Atul and González Martínez, Fernando}, }
