Influence of zinc oxide on the physical, structural and optical band gap of zinc silicate glass system from waste rice husk ash

Zinc silicate (ZnO-SiO2) glass was fabricated using melt-quench technique with compositions according to the empirical formula [(ZnO)x(WRHA)1-x] which x = 0.50, 0.55, 0.57 wt.%. These glass series acquire zinc oxide (ZnO) and white rice husk ash (WRHA) as silica source with two different melting tem...
