Structures and magneto optical property of diamagnetic TiO2-TeO2-PbO-B2O3 glass

Abstract TiO 2 doped diamagnetic 50.8TeO 2 -29.2PbO-(20 − x)B 2 O 3 : xTiO 2 (where x = 0, 2, 5, 10, 15 and 20mol% respectively) glasses were synthesized and characterized in terms of their glass forming, structure, spectra and Faraday rotation using a home-made optical bench. The doped TiO 2 not only decreased glass transition temperatures, but also increased refractive index, Vickers hardness (352 HV), optical cutoff wavelength (458 nm) and Faraday rotation (0.2043 min/G·cm) at 632.8 nm wavelength.
