Synthesis, structure and crystallization of glasses in the CdNbOF5–BaF2–InF3 system

Raman study of glasses in the NbO2F-BaF2-InF3-ErF3 and CdNbOF5-BaF2-InF3 systems

“…The synthesis methodology of fabrication of the glasses in the NbO 2 F-BaF 2 -InF 3 -ErF 3 and CdNbOF 5 -BaF 2 -InF 3 systems was detailed in our works [4,11]. Glasses were transparent and resistant to aerobic conditions.…”

“…In the present study, the glasses in the NbO 2 F-BaF 2 -InF 3 system we studied more thoroughly and the above approach for detecting photoluminescence was applied to another system containing indium trifluoride. These are newly obtained glasses in the CdNbOF 5 -BaF 2 -InF 3 system [11].…”

“…The research conducted in this field resulted in the fabrication of glasses in the systems based on MnNbOF 5 . The idea of introducing functional components, such as BiF 3 , InF 3 and fluorides of rare earth elements to various type of glasses, was implemented in [4][5][6][7]. A series of the objects fabricated according to this concept exhibited rather interesting transport and crystallization properties.…”

“…The researchers repeatedly [8,9] turned to the glasses that contain CdF 2 , considering it as a functional component promising for the formation of glass objects. Taking into account the demonstrated in [5] specific features of the glasses crystallization in the MnNbOF 5 -BaF 2 -InF 3 system, it was interesting to investigate the option of synthesizing similar systems with cadmium difluoride. The system of this type (CdNbOF 5 -BaF 2 -InF 3 ) was synthesized in [10].…”

“…The system of this type (CdNbOF 5 -BaF 2 -InF 3 ) was synthesized in [10]. During the course of its study [11], the possibility of fabricating transparent glass-crystalline composites containing crystalline phases of CdF 2 and Ba 3 In 2 F 12 was established via thermal treatment of glasses.…”
