Abstract:Fluorine incorporation into silicate glasses is important for technical fields as diverse as geophysics, extractive metallurgy, reconstructive dentistry, optical devices, and radioactive waste management. In this study, we explored the structural role of fluorine in alkaline alumino-borosilicate glass, with increasing amounts of fluorine up to 25 mol % F while maintaining the glass composition. Glasses were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), 27 Al and 19 F magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance… Show more
