Sodium-tetra-borate host glass containing both bismuth and iron cations were prepared obeying the composition (Na2B4O7)0.75 (Fe2O3)0.25-x (Bi2O3)x [where x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, and 0.25 mol.%]. X-ray diffraction indicated that all samples were in a homogeneous glassy phase. Moessbauer effect results showed that all iron ions appeared as Fe3+ ions occupying tetrahedral coordination state. The covalency of the Fe-O bond increased as bismuth oxide was gradually increased. IR measurements indicated the presence of some non-bridging oxygens and confirmed that iron ions occupy the tetrahedral coordination state. It was found also that, as Bi2O3 was gradually increased both magnetic susceptibility and specific volume decreased, while both density and molar volume increased.
