Popis: A series of borobismuthate glasses doped with MnO with 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1 mol% were prepared by melt quenching technique. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) studies confirms the amorphous nature of samples. The parameters density, molar volume, molar refraction and oxygen packing density (OPD) were calculated and it is observed that density decreases and molar volume increases with increase in MnO component due to formation of Non Bridging Oxygens (NBO). Optical absorption studies were done for glass samples and it shows that optical bandgap energy (Eopt) and metallization criterion (M) decreases with increase in MnO component indicates that these glasses can behave as amorphous semiconductors. Apart from this the optical parameters such as linear refractive index (n), coefficient of absorption (α), coefficient of extinction (K), optical conductivity (σop), optical polarizability (αo) and optical basicity (Λth) have also been evaluated for all samples and studied as a function of wavelength.
