Abstract A glass series of zinc tellurite was doped with erbium oxide and was successfully synthesized by employing a melt-quenching method. The glasses were prepared based on the chemical composition, [(TeO2)0.7 (ZnO) 0.3]1-x (Er2O3) x provided with different concentration of dopants, 0.01 to 0.05 molar fraction. The structural and elastic properties of the samples were elucidated using equipment such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Ultrasonic equipment. By studying FTIR spectra, the presence of TeO4 at 601-623 cm-1 and non-existence of TeO3, ZnO and Er2O3 implies that these bonds have been altered. However, by implementing the deconvolution technique using Origin 6.0 software, the remaining functional groups have been found. Besides that, the elastic moduli and other elastic parameters of the glasses are generally found to vary with the increase of erbium oxide while the Poisson’s ratio lies in the expected range of 0.2 to 0.3. A comparison is made between the respective elastic experimental and theoretical from 20.0 to 70.0 GPa which includes Makishima and Mackenzie, rocherulle, ring deformation and bond compression models. The outcome highlights that rocherulle model match well with the experimental elastic results using coefficient of determination, R2.

用于潜在光纤应用的掺铒锌碲酸盐玻璃系统弹性性能的实验和理论模型

摘要 采用熔融淬火法成功合成了掺氧化铒的玻璃系列亚碲酸锌。基于化学组成制备玻璃，[(TeO2)0.7(ZnO)0.3]1-x(Er2O3)x提供不同浓度的掺杂剂，0.01至0.05摩尔分数。使用傅里叶变换红外（FTIR）和超声波设备等设备阐明了样品的结构和弹性特性。通过研究 FTIR 光谱，TeO4 在 601-623 cm-1 处的存在和 TeO3、ZnO 和 Er2O3 的不存在意味着这些键已经改变。然而，通过使用 Origin 6.0 软件实施反卷积技术，已经找到了剩余的功能组。除此之外，通常发现玻璃的弹性模量和其他弹性参数随着氧化铒的增加而变化，而泊松比在0.2到0.3的预期范围内。分别在 20.0 到 70.0 GPa 的弹性实验和理论之间进行了比较，其中包括 Makishima 和 Mackenzie、rocherulle、环变形和键压缩模型。结果突出表明 rocherulle 模型与使用决定系数 R2 的实验弹性结果匹配良好。
