The outstanding thermal, mechanical and optical properties of borosilicate glasses give
them significant advantages for applications where conventional soda–lime–silica glasses …

OVERVIEW In theory, any molten material can form a glass when quenched fast enough.
Most natural glasses are based on silicates and for thousands of years only alkali/alkaline …

The short-range order of binary zinc borate glasses, xZnO–(1− x) B2O3, has been
quantitatively described as a function of ZnO content over the entire glass forming range for …

Despite the importance of 11B nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in structural studies of
borate glasses, no clear means of correlating NMR parameters with the number of …

The GEneral Materials diffractometer, GEM, at the ISIS Facility pulsed neutron source is the
most advanced materials neutron diffractometer in the world. A full description of GEM is …

We examine the borate group intermixing in a series of 25 borosilicate (BS) glasses from the
[0.5 M (2) O–0.5 Na2O]–B2O3–SiO2 systems with M={Li, K, Rb, Mg, Ca} along with ternary …

A series of transition and post-transition metal ion (Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb, Bi) binary borate glasses
was studied with special consideration of the cations impact on the borate structure, the …

A comprehensive survey is presented of the structures of the crystalline phases formed in
M2O–B2O3 and MO–B2O3 glass forming systems, with particular reference to those aspects …

The absence of translational symmetry, and the very much present complexity in the
structure of glassy, liquid, and amorphous materials make glass science a challenging field …

We investigate the structural and vibrational properties of glassy B 2 O 3 using first-
principles molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, we determine the boroxol rings …
