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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -

The environment of lithium in an invert glass
We request beamtime to study lithium silicate glasses over a very wide composition range from 20 to 65 mol.% Li2O, made by rapid quenching. For the higher Li2O contents, the... -
Atomic structure of barium tin phosphate glasses
Tin phosphate glasses are an alternative as lead-free glasses with zero photoelastic constant (PEC) for fiber applications. A second modifier oxide is added for improving the... -
Breaking Zachariasen rules - the structure of barium zirconium fluoride glasses
Glass is an essential material with applications that are dominated by oxides, but fluoride glasses (based on barium zirconium fluorides, "ZBLAN" glasses) have key applications... -
Structural studies of modified iron phosphate glasses to understand key struc...
We intend to use neutron diffraction and x-ray diffraction to investigate the structure of potassium and barium iron phosphate glasses, which are potential candidate systems for... -
A Structural Study of Alkaline-Earth Tellurite Glasses.
We wish to better understand the interaction between the alkaline earth modifiers and the tellurite glass network. The aim is to relate structural changes in the glasses with... -
Null Isotope Study of Lithium Borogermanate Glasses - continuation
Alkali borogermanate glasses are topologically complex, in that [BOn] (n = 3, 4)and [GeOn] (n = 4, 5, 6) polyhedra can coexist. Equilibrium between these structural units has... -
Developing a model for tellurium coordination change in glasses
We wish to better understand the evolution of the tellurium environment in glasses with the addition of modifier oxides. The aim is to relate these structural changes to the... -
Structure of niobium phosphate glasses
Niobium is one of the candidates for causing strong non-linear optical properties in oxide glasses. Recently, Raman gain experiments on niobium phosphate glasses were quite... -
Investigating the local structure of sodium within Bioglass®.
Bioactive glasses are of considerable interest due to their potential for biomedical applications. In order to model the behaviour and dissolution of these materials it is... -
