Optical and electrical studies of borosilicate glass containing vanadium and cobalt ions for smart windows applications

Structure and crystallization behavior of Al containing glasses in the CaO–B2O3–SiO2 system

“…At the same time, due to the competition of Al units to gain the more NBOs, the relative amount of Q 4 structural unit increases while the Q 3 decreases (Table 3). This can account for the eqn (2). Therefore, the increasing concentration of Al substitution in glasses will lead to the decrease of NBOs, which will make the amount of BO 3 , Q 4 units increase while BO 4 and Q 3 units decrease.…”

“…During the second half of the 19th century, borosilicate optical glass was rst studied to offer systematic insight into the relationships between the composition of glass and its physical and chemical properties. Aer this, CaO-B 2 O 3 -SiO 2 (CBS) glasses have been a popular study point over the years due to their excellent properties in a number of elds, for instance, high emissivity coating materials, 1 optical glasses for smart window applications, 2 or as bioactive materials to prevent microfouling, 3 or also as storage materials for dealing with nuclear waste 4 and electronic glasses in low temperature co-red ceramics (LTCC) technology. 5 In order to satisfy the need of the technical applications in different elds, the optimization in glasses is carried out in composition and structure of the glasses to achieve the required physical, mechanical and dielectric properties.…”

Mixed alkali effect on borosilicate glass structure with vanadyl ion as spin probe

“…It also shows excellent broad band luminescent properties in near IR. So Vanadium has many applications in photonics such as smart glass etc [5,6]. Vanadium doped glasses are also capable to transform UV into visible light [7].…”

Optical spectroscopic study of cobalt oxide doped boron glass and its ion effect on optical properties

“…B 2 O 3 glass is formed from BO 3 triangles that composed of three -membered (boroxol) rings [9]. Addition of some oxides to the glasses lead to a lot of new applications and improve the glass optical, electrical and physical properties [10,14]. The introduction of oxide as a modifier to boric oxide glass can create structural changes and modify the properties of glass matrix.…”
