Abstract
Phosphate glasses have garnered significant attention as host materials for various laser applications due to their high rare-earth ion solubility, large stimulated emission cross-section, and low nonlinear refractive index. Modification of phosphate glass composition is feasible through poly-anion substitution, leading to poly-anionic glasses with unique properties. This study explores the glass-forming regions (GFRs) of AlF3-R2SO4-M(PO3)2-based poly-anionic fluoro-sulfo-phosphate (R/M-FSP) glasses, a promising class of ionic glasses. Theoretical GFRs are predicted using a thermodynamic approach and then validated through a few experiments. The experimental GFRs range from K/Ba-FSP > Na/Ba-FSP > Li/Ba-FSP > K/Sr-FSP > Na/Sr-FSP > Li/Sr-FSP, with wider areas observed under lower cation field strength. Notably, the K/Ba-FSP glass system exhibits high anti-crystallization stability (approximately 140°C) and a low nonlinear refractive index (1.43 × 10–13–1.83 × 10–13 esu), advantageous for high-power laser operations. Furthermore, a comparative study among K/Ba-FSP glasses elucidates the general principles of manipulating glass structure and physical properties through compositional variation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
