Abstract:Engineering borate glass structure by simple compositional modification is essential to meet the particular demands from both industrial and photonic research communities. In this article, we demonstrate how the mixing of Li 2 O with Na 2 O, K 2 O, or Cs 2 O influences the relative abundance of 3-and 4-coordinated borons in the glass network, as exhibited by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) andRaman spectra. A systematic study is given of the alkali mixing effect on the glass properties including: glass transi… Show more
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.
