Effect of TiO2 doping and gamma ray irradiation on the properties of SrO-B2O3 glasses

FTIR spectra of the prepared glasses show the appearance of both triangular and tetrahedral borate units in their specific wavenumbers with the first groups in higher ratio. Minor changes have been identified in the intensity or position of the borate IR vibrational bands upon the increase of TiO2 within the glass content. The resolution of a distinct IR peak at 420 cm− 1 can be related to the presence of B―O or Ti―O―Ti bonding upon the increase of TiO2 content.
