Chemical Structure and Properties of Molten Glass Related to Optical, Infrared, and Structural Materials.

Abstract

The research had as a primary goal the understanding of the basic chemical structure of glasses and their melts. Summarized is the research leading to the understanding of ionic migration in liquids and glasses, development of a chalcogenide glass ceramic for infrared windows, and use of laser light scattering to study composition fluctuations in liquids and glasses.
