Variation of Crystallization Behavior in the Na2O-SiO2 Glasses by Heat Treatments.

Magnetic properties of praseodymium ions in Na2O–Pr2O3–SiO2 glasses

Sodium praseodymium silicate glasses of nominal composition 0.3Na2O xPr2O3 (0.7 x)SiO2, where 0pxp0:10; have been studied by magnetisation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The magnetisation data fail to collapse to a single curve in the M versus H=T representation for all values of x and the spread increases with x; indicating an increase in the magnetic exchange interaction. The M v...

Effect of P2O5 on Crystallization Behavior and Chemical Resistance of Dental Glasses in the Li2O-SiO2-ZrO2 System

Commercial dental lithium disilicate based glass-ceramics containing various amounts of P2O5 were synthesized. Regarding the crystallization behavior and physico-chemical properties of the glasses, the optimum percent of P2O5 was determined.as 8 %wt. Crystallization behavior of the glasses was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The micro-hardness a...

Structural Investigation of Na2O–B2O3–SiO2 Glasses Doped with NdF3

Abstract—Sodium borosilicate glasses doped with different content of NdF3 mol % have been prepared by rapid quenching method. Ultrasonic velocities (both longitudinal and shear) measurements have been carried out at room temperature and at ultrasonic frequency of 4 MHz. Elastic moduli, Debye temperature, softening temperature and Poisson's ratio have been obtained as a function of NdF3 modifier...

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of CeO2–Na2O–SiO2 glasses

A series of (CeO2)x–(Na2O)0.3–(SiO2)(0.7−x) glasses, where 0.025≤ x≤ 0.075, have been synthesized and investigated by mean of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Ce 3d spin-orbit doublet was curve fitted in order to quantify the proportions of each cerium oxidation state in these glasses. It was found that Ce ions are predominantly in the Ce(III) state in glasses with compositions x≤ 0....
