Abstract In this work, the structure, elasticity parameters, and buildup factor of borosilicate glasses doped with BaO, CdO and NiO have been studied. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy was utilized to study the internal structure of the present system. IR spectra are broad, especially since the superposition between the borate and silicate occurs in the same spectral region. A deconvolution process was carried out to extract these spectra into their individual bands. The values of tetrahedrally-coordinated boron atoms ratio ( N 4 ) barely increased from 37.9% for 1 mol% of NiO to 39.5% for 4 mol% of NiO. This increase indicates the transformation of three coordinated boron atoms ( BO 3 ) to four coordinated boron atoms ( BO 4 ) units with further NiO additions. The N 4 values were used along with the dissociation energies density and packing density parameters to calculate the elastic moduli; Young, shear, bulk, and Poisson ratio. The obtained values of Young’s modulus increase with further NiO additions. This increased behavior of Young’s modulus demonstrates the augmented ability of the current glasses to withstand variations in their length under lengthwise tensile tension or compression with further NiO additions. The rest of the elasticity moduli showed increased behaviors as well. These increased behaviors support the results obtained from structural properties analyses. An increment of BO 4 units with decreasing the nonbridging oxygens ions (NBO) in the internal structure of present glasses produces an increase in the elastic parameters of these glasses. At photons energy of 0.2 MeV, the energy exposure buildup factor (EBF) values are low for glasses with a high concentration of CdO (low concentration of NiO), but the value of EBF is larger for glasses with a low concentration of CdO (high concentration of NiO).

Abstract In the present work, the casting process was used to prepare polymeric films based on Polyvinyl alcohol/Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVA/PVP) loaded with various weight percentages of HgCl 2 . The morphology and the microstructure of the synthesized samples were studied using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Atomic force microscope (AFM), x-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. UV/VIS/NIR spectrophotometer was implemented to scientifically check the optical elucidation. All films between the two phases are characterized by substantial integration of HgCl 2 and PVA/PVP. The scanning electron microscope shows a morphology modification of the blend surface with the mercuric chloride substantive. The roughness calculated from AFM images increased with increasing HgCl 2 . The agglomeration of the particles made a significant influence on the optical transmittance properties of pure PVA/PVP. Due to the growth of distortion and imperfection in the structure of the blend matrix by the addition of HgCl 2 , there is a modification in the engineering bandgap, localized state’s order, coefficient of absorption, and optical conductivity. The dispersion and oscillator energies were calculated using the Wemple and Di Domenico (DDW) model for a single oscillator. Various theoretical relations between energy gaps and refractive indices were used to calculate the average refractive index of each sample. Further, the nonlinear refractive index and optical susceptibilities of polymer composite samples were enhanced by increasing the percentage of HgCl 2 . The influence of loading on the optical limiting of the blend was investigated via He-Ne and green diode lasers. The results indicate the ability to use our flexible films in various optoelectronic devices.
