Abstract: · Study of lead germanate glasses by neutron diffraction, RMC, DSC and Raman analysis. · Density increases while Tg and atomic number density decrease with an increase in PbO mol%. · Ge-O co-ordination essentially tetrahedral and in the range: 3.9 to 4.2(1). · Small amount of GeO 3 and GeO 5 but no GeO 6 units in glass structure. · Pb-O co-ordination decreases from 4.0 to 3.1(1) with increase in PbO mol%. The effects of PbO concentration on the density, thermal and structural properties of xPbO–(100-x)GeO 2 (x = 20 to 55 mol%) glasses were studied. Density of glasses increases linearly from 5.043 to 6.981(5) g·cm−3, while the glass transition temperature decreases drastically from 467 °C to 359 °C on increasing PbO concentration from 20 to 55 mol%. Neutron diffraction studies found that Ge-O co-ordination is in the range: 3.9–4.2(1), and there is a very weak germanate co-ordination anomaly at PbO concentration of 40 and 50 mol%. GeO 4 are the dominant structural units with a small quantity of GeO 3 and GeO 5 but very little GeO 6 in the glass network. Pb-O and O O co-ordination decreases with an increase in PbO mol% and are in the range of: 4.0–3.1(1) and 6.3–5.4(1) respectively. Raman studies indicate a decrease in Pb-O co-ordination with increase in PbO mol%, in good agreement with the neutron diffraction findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
