Theoretical and practical results on the preparation and investigation of low-melting glasses using the example of glassy chalcogenide glasses of the Ge-S-Br, Ge-Se-Br systems are presented and summarized. On the basis of fundamental properties of matter, correlations were identified with uniform positions. The glass formation regularities in the indicated chalcogenide and oxyhalide systems were determined. Areas and compositions of low-melting chalcogenide and oxyhalide glasses were considered. Approaches to obtaining of thermostable and difficult to crystallize low-melting glasses were found. Areas of their practical application were identified. On the basis of the obtained data, approaches and criteria for obtaining compositions of low-melting chalcogenide and oxide glasses with practically useful properties are formulated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
