Structural investigation and simulation of acoustic properties of some tellurite glasses using artificial intelligence technique

▶ Simulation the acoustic properties of some tellurite glasses using one of the artificial intelligence techniques (artificial neural network). ▶ The glass network is strengthened by enhancing the linkage of Te-O chains. The tellurite network will also come to homogenization, because of uniform distribution of Nb5+ ions among the Te-O chains, though some of the tellurium-oxide polyhedra still link each other in edge sharing. ▶ Excellent agreements between the measured values and the predicted values were obtained for over 50 different tellurite glass compositions. ▶ The model we designed gives a better agreement as compared with Makishima and Machenzie model.
