Abstract

The composition of the glass is Bi₂O₃ (20%)-Na ₂O (15%)-B₂O₃ (50%)-SiO₂ (15%) was prepared by conventional melt quench method. To study the effect of heavy ion irradiation on the glass network and structural units, thin films of the glass have been prepared by electron beam gun evaporation. The prepared films are irradiated using 120 MeV Ag⁷⁺ ions in the fluence range of 1 × 10¹²-3 × 10¹³ ions cm^-2. The optical and structural properties were investigated using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques. A significant decrease in the band gap is observed after irradiation which is indicative of the fact that radiation has caused compaction in the glass structure.
