Viscosity and density of molten optical glasses

Optical and Thermal Properties of Mixed Alkali Phosphate Based Glasses

Glassy samples with a composition of 40P2O5&ndash;30V2O5&ndash;(30-x)Li2O&ndash; xK2O, 0<x<30 (mol %) were prepared by the conventional melt quenching technique in two forms of bulk and blown film. X-ray diffraction patterns corroborated the amorphous feature of the samples. Density of samples was investigated by using Archimedes principle. Based on absorption and reflection spectra, indirect a...

Shear viscosity of molten sodium chloride

Density of Molten Terbium Chloride

Anhydrous (99.99%) TbCl3 was obtained from Aldrich (Milwaukee, WI, USA) and used without further purifications. It was handled in an argon-filled dry box with a water content < 2 ppm and an oxygen content < 1 ppm. A 166Ho radiation source (2.27 MBq) was used because of its desirable decay characteristics (t1/2 = 1200y, up to 8 photons per disintegration, more than 10% branching ratio). A multi-...

Viscosity and Density Measurements

2. Working Equations of the Vibrating-Wire Instrument Our implementation [1] of the steady-state vibrating-wire technique is similar to that described by Audonnet and Pádua [2] in which the wire is driven at frequency f by a constant sinusoidal current I, and the emf V(f) generated across the vibrating wire is measured with a two-phase lock-in amplifier. This measured emf generally comprises tw...

The Relationship between Structural and Optical Properties of GeO2-PbO Glasses

The structural and optical characterization of bulk GeO2-PbO glasses was the goal of this study. In this regard, six different (100-x)GeO2‌-xPbO (15<x<45) glasses were prepared by conventional melt quenching technique between two steel sheets. The produced samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UV-Vis s...
