Abstract
To reduce optical losses due to scattering of radiation by crystals in Ga20Ge20Se60 glass-ceramics, selective doping of the glass matrix with lanthanum(III) selenide is proposed. Samples of the (100-x)Ga20Ge20Se60-xLa40Se60 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 3.75, 5) glass- ceramics, which contain 40–57 vol.% of 3.0–4.6 μm sized sphalerite-type crystalline phases based on solid solutions of germanium(II, IV) selenides and gallium(III) selenide, are prepared. According to energy-dispersive spectroscopy data, lanthanum is concentrated in the glass matrix of glass-ceramics, and the distribution coefficient is 3.4 ± 0.6. An increase in the concentration of La in (100-x)Ga10Ge30Se60–xLa40Se60 (x = 0, 1.25, 2.5) glasses leads to the rise of their refractive index by 0.023±0.008, when replacing 0.25Ga + 0.75Ge → 1La. For the first time, 97.5Ga20Ge20Se60–2.5La40Se60 selenide glass-ceramics with a high volume content of micron-sized crystals and transparency of more than 50% in the 2–16 μm region are produced.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
