Crystallization of bismuth oxide nano-crystallites in a SiO2–PbO–Bi2O3 glass matrix

Study of melilite based glasses and glass-ceramics nucleated by Bi2O3 for functional applications

“…Nevertheless, the three dimensional bulk nucleation occurring in Bi-richer glasses MB-3 and MB-5, as revealed by their early stage of crystallization, 47,48 gives these glasses great potential interest for other applications in the field of GCs, such as layers for optical and electronic devices, thermal and mechanical sensors, reflecting windows, etc. 49…”

An Efficient Protocol for the Green and Solvent-Free Synthesis of Azine Derivatives at Room Temperature Using BiCl3-Loaded Montmorillonite K10 as a New Recyclable Heterogeneous Catalyst

“…The XRD pattern of BiCl 3 -K10 is different from that of montmorillonite K10 (Figure 2(b)). In the BiCl 3 -K10 system, four new peaks obtained with 2 θ values of 25.8°, 32.4°, 49.6°, and 58.5° corresponding to Bi 3+ confirms the loading of BiCl 3 [26]. …”

Identification of Nanocrystalline Inclusions in Bismuth-Doped Silica Fibers and Preforms

“…In most studies, the investigation of nanocrystalline inclusions in Bi-containing glasses was connected with preparation and characterization of nanocrystalline materials: microcrystalline glasses, glass ceramics, quantum dots glass, or nanocrystal glass (see e.g., Fei et al, 2000; Khonton et al, 2009; Polosan et al, 2011; Abo-Naf et al, 2012; Jiang et al, 2013). The subject of those works was glasses with a high Bi 2 O 3 content.…”
