The glasses of 19.9ZnO+xLi2O+(30−x)Na2O+50B2O3(5≤x≤25) (ZLNB) doped with 0.1mol% of paramagnetic Fe2O3impurity are prepared by melt quench technique. Physical parameters of all the glasses are evaluated and they reveal a non-linear behavior with respect to the composition. Powder XRD pattern has not revealed any crystalline peak which indicates its amorphous nature. The optical band gap and Urbach energies exhibited the mixed alkali effect. All the prepared glass samples are found to be strong and stable in structure with low values of Urbach energy which lie between 0.010 and 0.022eV. Electron paramagnetic resonance exhibited three resonance signals around g values at 2.06, 4.24 and 8.34 in the all Fe3+doped glasses. The optical absorption spectrum of the samples exhibited three bands which are characteristic of Fe3+in distorted octahedral symmetry. The crystal field parameter (Dq) and Racah inter electronic repulsion parameters (B, C) are evaluated. The FT-IR spectra of Fe3+doped glasses exhibited characteristic vibrations of BO3and BO4units.
