In this study, the melt-quenching technique was used to synthesize various glass compositions for the system 55[(PbxCa1-x)center dot OTiO2]-44[2SiO(2)center dot B2O3]-1V(2)O(5) (0.0 <= x <= 0.7). The synthesized glasses were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The experimental density of the glass samples increased from 1.48 to 2.19 g/cm(3) as the concentration of lead oxide (PbO) increased. The XRD results agreed well with the SEM observations and they confirmed the amorphous nature of the glasses. The FTIR and Raman analyses indicated the presence of various bonds comprising V-O-V, Pb-O-B, B-O-B, Si-O-Si, B-O-Si and B-OH, which were attributed to different vibrations. The optical band gap values decreased from 2.07 to 1.65 eV as the PbO content increased. Si-29 and B-11 magic angle spinning solid state NMR spectral analysis suggested that the number of non-bridging oxygens increased within the silicate and borate network as the concentration of PbO increased in the glassy system.
