A study of the structural, spectroscopic, and dielectric properties of La2O3 doped borate glass

We have synthesized La2O3 doped borate glasses using conventional rapid melt quench method. The amorphous nature was identified using the X-ray diffraction pattern. Photoluminescence spectrum and IR spectrum were used to analyze the optical properties and differentiate the various vibrational modes. Also Raman spectroscopy of La2O3 doped borate glass was studied. The electrical properties such as the dielectric constant, the dielectric loss, and AC conductivity of the La2O3 doped borate glass were studied at different frequencies and different temperatures.
