Characterisation of glasses in the TeO2-WO3-PbO system

As potential candidates for photonic devices, non-linear materials and coatings, 22 glasses in the TeO2-WO3-PbO system have been formulated and prepared by conventional melting at temperatures ranging between 710 and 750 °C. The glass forming area has been determined for a wide region of the corresp...

The glass forming area has been determined for a wide region of the corresponding ternary diagram.

The main glass former oxide is TeO2, which arranges [TeO4] groups with tetrahedral coordination, while PbO plays as glass modifier oxide. Tungsten oxide is incorporated as network former, alternating with TeO2 and forming mixed linkages Te-O-W and W-O-W. WO3 is the component that contributes most to increase the glass transition temperature, and to decrease both the oxygen molar volume and the thermal expansion coefficient. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
