We developed the theoretical and experimental method for chromatic dispersion of Borosilicate Crown microstructure optical fiber from scalar effective index method (SEIM) and TBC has been reported. To maintain the flat and zero dispersion in photonic crystal fiber (PCF) different air hole diameter has been introduced. Here we use Borosilicate Crown glass as a core material. A photonic crystal f...

Anodic bonding of silicon to glass always involves heating the glass and device to high temperatures so that cations become mobile in the electric field. We present a simple way of bonding thin silicon samples to borosilicate glass by means of heating from the glass side while locally cooling heat-sensitive areas from the silicon side. Despite the high thermal conductivity of silicon, this meth...

Light is able to remotely move matter. Among various driving forces, laser-induced metal sphere migration in glass has been reported. The temperature on the laser-illuminated side of the sphere was higher than that on the non-illuminated side. This temperature gradient caused non-uniformity in the interfacial tension between the glass and the melted metal as the tension decreased with increasin...

Technetium, found in some nuclear wastes (such as those generated from spent fuel reprocessing), is of particular concern with regard to long-term waste storage because of its long half-life (2.13 x 10(5) years) and high mobility in the environment. One method of stabilization of such waste is through vitrification to produce a durable borosilicate glass matrix. The fate of Tc under hydrotherma...

The characteristics of inorganic particles generated in glass vials filled with phosphate buffer solutions were investigated. During storage, particles were visually detected in the phosphate buffer solution in particular glass vials which pass compendial tests of containers for injectable drugs. These particles were considered to be different from ordinal glass delamination, which has been rep...

This study presents microwave absorption of raw materials used in barium borosilicate, Fe-doped alumina phosphate and zinc borate glass. Microwave absorption was investigated for the raw materials SiO2, Na2CO3, BaCO3, BPO4, Al(PO3)3, Mg(PO3)2, Al(OH)3, TiO2. The study shows that SiO2 could be heated directly above 1000 °C within 30 min at 1.5 kW microwave output (MW) power and 0.8 kW MW power i...

The resolution of patch-clamp recordings is limited by the geometrical and electrical properties of patch pipettes. The ideal whole-cell patch pipette has a blunt, cone-shaped tip and a low resistance. The best glasses for making patch pipettes are low noise, low capacitance glasses such as borosilicate and aluminasilicate glasses. Regrettably, nearly all borosilicate glasses form pipettes with...

We propose a fabrication method of vertical and high-aspect-ratio microfluidic device which is made of borosilicate glass. Glass microfluidic devices have high demand because of its chemical stability, good bio compatibility, and high optical transparency. We realized vertical glass microwells of 25 μm in diameter and 50 μm in depth(aspect ratio: 2), and micropillars of 3 μm in diameter and 25 ...

Glasses and glass-ceramics (GCs) used for sealing, coating and high voltage applications belong to a special class of materials in which among other requirements, matching of thermal expansion coefficient with that of metal as closely as possible up to set temperature is an important consideration. In this paper I shall concentrate on some indigenous efforts carried out in my laboratory on the ...

Altering the CaO to ZnO ratio of alkali borosilicate glass, in favour ZnO, causes phase separation with hardystonite-like (Ca 2 ZnSi O 7 ) and willemite-like (ZnSi 4 structures identified. This is concurrent increased glass durability.
