Alkali ions dependent collective excitations in borate glasses
Recently, it has been suggested that the First Sharp Diffraction Peak (FSDP) in glasses arises from a quasi-periodicity of void spaces in the structure, that plays the role of... -
Transformations in B2O3 glass under pressure
B2O3 is a prototypical glass forming oxide material and is an essential component in many industrial glasses. Unlike SiO2 and GeO2 its structure under ambient conditions is not... -
High-resolution phonon spectra of silicon nitride phases
Silicon nitride is a mechanically tough and light-weight ceramic material able to withstand high temperatures. It is therefore becoming increasingly attractive for use in... -
The structure of metal metaborate glasses
Scientific studies of borate glasses tend to focus on alkali borates, which can be made over a wide and continuous composition range. Contrastingly, metal borates have a wide...
