Synthesis and Crystallization Behavior of Fluoride Glasses
Abstract
The objectives of the program were as follows: Exploration of wet chemical synthesis routes to the preparation of metal-organic precursors for heavy metal fluoride glasses. Exploration of synthesis conditions for converting precursors to multicomponent oxide gels for conversion to heavy metal fluoride glasses. Exploration of chemistries and conditions for converting multicomponent oxide gels to heavy metal fluoride glasses. Exploration of chemical approaches to passivating the surfaces of heavy metal fluoride glasses. Exploration of the possibility of developing a computer model to describe crystallization during a cycle of cooling- reheating-recooling a liquid to form a glass (the cycle used in forming fluoride glass fibers).
