Structural analysis of high refractive index glasses without network former oxides

DOI

Recently, we have succeeded in fabricating unconventional bulk glasses by containerless processing. The glasses were colorless and transparent, and high refractive index over 2 in the visible region. We found that the oxygen ions in the glass exhibited a large electronic polarization and existed in a densely packed state. It should be investigated the local structure around W atoms and the connectivity of WOn polyhedra in the glass. However, there are few reports about the structure of WO3-based binary glasses and the glass-forming mechanism of the system is still not clear. In this study, neutron diffraction measurement of WO3-based glasses will be performed. We will combine the data of high energy XRD at SPring-8 and theoretical calculations with the neutron diffraction data, in order to obtain the 3-dimensional atomic configuration of glasses.
