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 …

In the present work, six bismuth borate glass samples with chemical formula (75− x) B 2 O 3–
x Bi 2 O 3–10CaO–10Na 2 O–5Al 2 O 3,(x= 0.0–25.0 mol%) have been manufactured. UV …

Significant technological and methodological advances in solid-state NMR techniques in
recent years have increased the accessibility of nuclei with small magnetic moments …

Bismuth tellurium borate glass systems in the composition of 65B 2 O 3-12.5 TeO 2-12.5 Bi 2
O 3-(10-x) Na 2 O-xNdCl 3, where x= 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10 mol% were prepared by traditional …

This Primer critically reviews the possibilities and limitations of probing the short-range
structure of an oxide-based glass by routine magic-angle spinning (MAS) or triple-quantum …

Network of new quaternary borate glasses Bi 2 O 3–Y 2 O 3–Al 2 O 3–B 2 O 3 was studied
by FTIR and UV spectroscopies. According to the FTIR results, the addition of Y 2 O 3 …

We report on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of heavily Eu2O3 doped Y2O3–Al2O3–
B2O3 glasses as a high-gain red-emitting material for photoconversion. A UV-to-red …

Ytterbium‐doped lanthanum titanate glasses were prepared by levitation melting for the
detailed characterization of the Yb 3+ \rmYb^3+ spectroscopic properties in the rare‐earth …

Glass formation and structure-property relations were explored in highly modified borate
glasses containing high loads of rare-earth elements, whose crystalline analogues display a …

We report a detailed structural investigation of a series of fluoride–phosphate glasses with
different phosphate/fluoride ratios in the system xSr (PO3) 2–(100− x)[AlF3–CaF2–SrF2 …
