Phosphate glasses for identification of heavy ions

A review of the structures of oxide glasses by Raman spectroscopy

“…For this purpose, boron-free glasses are commonly used [4]. Price et al [7]. W. H. Zachariasen 50 had investigated the silicate glasses and he found that such glasses are consist of silicon tetrahedrally coordinated to 4 oxygen atoms [6].…”

“…Then, the raw materials are mixed properly in mortar with pestle or ball mill in acetone media. Certain contamination and impurity of crucible or furnace materials is also added in the glass in this 70 method. The homogonous melt is quenched in aluminium mould.…”

“…In recent years, the structure properties of SnF 2 -SnO-P 2 O 5 glasses 70 have been studied. The rapid development of advanced and innovative glasses is under progress.…”

4 Track Detectors and Soleno applied for Cluster Radioactivities

“…There are some other useful materials [41,42], as for instance quartz, muscovite or phlogopite mica, cellulose nitrate, poly-allyl-glycolcarbonate, etc. The phosphate glasses [52] show the best characteristics: homogeneity, charge resolution, and optical quality. They do not lose their sensitivity when irradiated in vacuum.…”

Poly(triallyl phosphate) and its copolymers with allyl diglycol carbonate as solid state nuclear track detectors.

“…Various other sensitive phosphate glass detectors have been reported. [6][7][8] Further, Barium phosphate BP-1 glass detector was described by R. Bonetti et al due to its high sensitivity compared to some polymers. [9] In 1997, Bonetti [10] and co-workers have calibrated LG 750 phosphate glass with heavy ion beams, as it is known previously that LG750 phosphate glass is suitable to detect cluster radioactivity because of its very high tolerance of alpha dose.…”
