Structural and optical properties of ion - conducting lithium bismuthate glasses are reported here. The structure of these glasses has been explored from the compositional variation of the density, molar volume, and glass transition temperature. The optical study in the visible and infrared region indicates a large transmission window for these glasses. The BiO6 octahedra were identified as the main structural unit from the Raman spectra of these bismuthate glasses.

Bulk glasses of xNb2O5(1-x)La2O3(NL) with high refractive index were prepared by aerodynamic levitation method. Only when x ranges from 0.62 to 0.72, NL glasses can be obtained. The effect of compositions on the thermal property and refractive index was investigated. The results indicated that the glass transition temperature ranged from 733 to 767 with the increasing of La2O3in NL glasses, while the crystallization peak ranged from 811 to 837 . The glasses had high refractive index ranging from 2.26 to 2.31. According to the Drude-Voigt relationship, the Abbe number of the glasses was calculated to be about 20. This type of glass was colorless and transparent in the region from visible to infrared region. Thus, the niobate glass system has promising application in lenses, next-generation optical disk, and endoscopes.

The problem of predicting structural and dynamic behavior associated with thin smectic films, both deposited on a solid surface or stretched over an opening, when the temperature is slowly increased above the bulk transition temperature towards either the nematic or isotropic phases, remains an interesting one in the physics of condensed matter. A useful route in studies of structural and optical properties of thin smectic films is provided by a combination of statistical–mechanical theories, hydrodynamics of liquid crystal phases, and optical and calorimetric techniques. We believe that this review shows some useful routes not only for the further examining of the validity of a theoretical description of thin smectic films, both deposited on a solid surface or stretched over an opening, but also for analyzing their structural, optical, and dynamic properties.

The result of an extensive research on this material is the achievement of approaching 20% efficiency by the co-evaporation of copper, indium, gallium and selenium elements. Recently, photoluminescence (PL) spectra have been studied on Cu (In,Ga) Se2(CIGS) thin films and CIGS solar cells, to clarify the carrier recombination process. The CIGS layers were grown on the Mo-coated soda-lime glass substrate by the three stage process and four sources co-evaporation of constituent elements onto a heated substrate. It has found that the structural and optical properties of the CIGS thin film was influenced by the Cu/Ga ratio (RCu/Ga) of the CIGS thin film compositional variation. The X-ray diffraction and PL spectra were used to characterize the structure property and carrier recombination mechanism of CIGS thin film.

AbstractThe conductivity of the Li2O:P2O5:MO3 (M = Cr2, Mo, W) glasses increases as P2O5 is progressively substituted by MO3 and as the Li2O content increases. Amongst the glass compositions studied, the 0.50Li2O:0.20P2O5:0.30WO3 glass has the highest conductivity at 25°C of 2. 1×10−6 ×−1 cm−1. The glass transition temperature of the glasses increases initially with network former substitution, reaches a maximum at around MO3/P2O5 = 1, and decreases with further substitution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the presence of M ions in more than one oxidation state and oxygen species such as P=O, P-O-P, P-O, M-O-M, M-O and P-O-M. Raman spectroscopy shows that the Li2O:P2O5:MoO3 and Li2O:P2O5:WO3 glasses consist of PO4, MoO4 (WO4) and MoO6 (WO6) polyhedra while the Li2O:P2O5:Cr2O3 glasses consist of the PO4 and CrO6 polyhedra only. The phosphate groups are preferentially modified by Li2O in comparison with the tungstate, molybdate and chromate groups. The increasing number of non-bridging oxygen atoms per phosphate group may be related to the increasing conductivity with the progressive substitution of MO3 for P2O5.

Selenium-based glasses are attractive candidate materials because of their low transmission losses and other optical properties. In the present paper, samples of Ge19Se81-xSbx (x = 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 17.2, 20) were prepared by using the melt-quench technique, and their X-ray diffraction spectra were studied. Some of the physical parameters were calculated theoretically. It was observed that the glass transition temperature increased up to x = 17.2 and then decreased whereas the theoretically calculated band-gap decreased with increasing Sb content.

AbstractIodide glasses presently being investigated suffer from their poor glass forming abilities, thermal instabilities and general lack of chemical durability. Glasses in the Cd-As-I and Cd-As-Ge-I systems are investigated in this study for the purpose of developing water-resistant, thermally stable iodide glasses and optical fibers. Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) showed that glasses in these systems have glass transition temperature(Tg) values above 300°C. Devitrification of glasses during cooling and reheating can be suppressed by incorporating small amount of Ge atoms into ternary Cd-As-I glasses. They are transparent up to 14μm in the infrared region with excellent durability against liquid water at 90°C.
