Abstract

Ultraviolet visible near-infrared (UV/VIS/NIR) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) measurements were carried out in order to investigate the optical and thermal properties of TeO2-GeO2-ZnO glasses. The samples were prepared by fusing the mixture of their respective reagent grade powders in a platinum crucible at 850°C for 1h. According to the DTA scan curves of 0.85TeO2-0.05GeO2-0.10ZnO and 0.90TeO 2-0.05GeO2-0.05ZnO glasses taken at different heating rates, activation energy values and the Avrami constants for the crystallization peaks were determined. The absorption spectra measured between 300-800 nm wavelength region were used to determine the optical band-gap and Urbach energies of the glasses.
