Polyhedra Coexistence in Alkali Borogermanate Glasses
GeO2-rich potassium borogermanate glasses are topologically complex, in that [BOn] (n = 3, 4) and [GeOn] (n = 4, 5, 6) polyhedra may all coexist. We wish to determine average... -
Local and intermediate-range order in AgI-containing glasses
Usual structural hypothesis related to superionic glasses containing metal halides MY = LiI, NaBr, AgI, etc., implies the absence of chemical interactions between the host glass... -
Metastable phase formation and memory effects in barium borate glasses.
BaB4O7 glass crystallises to different polymorphs of the same composition depending on the prior thermal history of the glass and the surface area of the sample. This indicates... -
The structural role of zinc in complex phosphate glasses for new bone cements
A study of zinc containing phosphate glasses for biomedical applications is proposed. The structural role of zinc as a function of composition will be investigated through... -
The Structure of Lead Phosphomolybdate Glasses
Molybdenum containing glasses have many potential applications. However, there is little information available on the structural role of molybdenum in glasses, and the limited... -
Neutron diffraction study of local and mesoscopic disorder induced by La and ...
The accurate determination of the defect structure of rare earth (RE) doped ceria solid electrolytes is fundamental for the comprehension of oxygen diffusion and charge... -
Bismuth Germanate Glass Structure
Bismuth germanate glasses are technologically important for a number of reasons, including fibre-optical and laser applications, non-linear optical glasses, IR transmitting... -
Null Isotope Study of Lithium Borogermanate Glasses
Alkali borogermanate glasses are topologically complex, in that [BOn] (n = 3, 4)and [GeOn] (n = 4, 5, 6) polyhedra may all coexist. Equilibrium between these structural units...
