Abstract  

Three series of sulfur-doped sodium tetraborate glasses containingiron was prepared with the composition (Na2 B4 O7 ) 1–x (Fe2 O 3 ) x , wherex equals 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3. One series of the glass was left free of sulfur,while sulfur was added to the other two series of 2.5 and 5 wt%, respectively,to investigate the role of sulfur ions on some physical properties of thistype of glass. Melting process was carried out in platinum crucibles at 1100°C for one hour. The glasses were quenched in air at room temperature.X-ray diffraction measurement was carried out to be sure that the pure glassystate is obtained. 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and dc conductivitymeasurements were carried out. It was found that iron is present in form ofFe2+ and Fe 3+ ions. Sulfur ions increased the valuesof dc conductivity. The isomer shift of the two states of iron is stable whilethe quadrupole splitting value changed with increasing Fe2 O3 content or as sulfur was added.
