Optical properties of selenite glasses

The aim of this work is to obtain multicomponent selenite glasses containing other non-traditional glass formers such as V2O5, TeO2 and MoO3 and to verify their optical properties in the visible spectral region. Glasses containing MoO3 and TeO2 are transparent in the visible range and near IR region from 400 to 2300 nm. Transparent coloured glasses were obtained due to the electron transfer charge processes. Using IR spectroscopy it was determined the main building units of the amorphous network. It was found the presence of TeO4, SeO3 and MoO4 units.
