A series of glass-ceramics were prepared by heat-treatments of 40Na2O-30MoO3-30P2O5 (in mol%) glass in a temperature range from 380 (Tg) to 490 °C (Tc) and for 1–24 h. The prepared glass-ceramics contain from 2 to 25 wt.% of crystalline NaMoO2PO4. The sodium-ion conductivity in these materials decreases up to one order of magnitude with an increase in the degree of crystallization due to the immobilization of sodium ions in crystalline NaMoO2PO4. The transport of sodium ions in these materials occurs primarily through the dominant continuous glassy phase, and it is weakly affected by the sporadically distributed crystalline grains. However, the prepared glass-ceramics exhibit high proton conductivity in a humid atmosphere and remarkable humidity-sensing properties; this could be related to crystalline NaMoO2PO4, which provides sites for water adsorption. The glass-ceramic prepared at 450 °C for 24 h shows the best humidity-sensing performance among all samples, showing an increase in proton conductivity for more than seven orders of magnitude with the increase in relative humidity from 0% to 95%. Under a highly humid atmosphere (95% relative humidity and 25 °C), the proton conductivity of this glass-ceramic reaches 5.2 × 10−3 (Ω cm)−1. Moreover, the electrical response of these materials on the change in the relative humidity is linear and reversible in the entire range of the relative humidity, which indicates that they are novel promising candidates for application as humidity sensors.

Humidity sensitive layers elaborated from pure HMDSO and TEOS by PECVD technique have been studied. Humidity sensing properties including impedance relative humidity (RH) and current RH characteristics were investigated. TEOS films show higher sensitivity and excellent linearity over the explored range of humidity (20–95% RH). However, HMDSO films exhibits a small response and recovery of about 8 and 34 s for humidification and desiccation, respectively, in addition to very low hysteresis (2%). Structural analyses of sensitive layers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

The crystal phase of fresnoite (Ba2TiSi2O8) produced from BaO–TiO2–SiO2 (hereinafter referred to as BTS) has nonlinear optical properties and is capable of emitting ultraviolet light. It can also be utilized in various fields, such as optical communications and optoelectronic devices. In this study, Er and Eu were added to BTS-based glass and a glass-ceramic containing a nano-sized fresnoite crystal phase was prepared through an appropriate heat treatment process. The relationships among the type of crystal phase, the microstructure, the light transmittance capabilities and the PL characteristics of the prepared glass-ceramic were analyzed. In the glass-ceramic of BTS doped with Er, 428 nm light was emitted when excitation light with a 268 nm wavelength was applied, while in the glass-ceramic of BTS doped with Eu, 613 nm red light was emitted when excitation light with a wavelength 394 nm was supplied. The produced fresnoite-based glass-ceramic exhibits transparency and luminescence characteristics due to the nano-sized crystal phase. Therefore, it is likely to find use in various fields in the future.

To evaluate the crystallization behavior of Ti-bearing blast furnace slag-based glass ceramics, SiO2-Al2O3-CaO-MgO-TiO2 systems with various TiO2 were investigated. The crystallization process and mechanical properties were analyzed. The results show that with TiO2 increasing, exothermic peak temperature (Tp) decreases, and the crystallization is promoted by the introduction of TiO2. A small amount of TiO2 (≤4%) addition can significantly promote crystallization, and when TiO2 continues to increase, the crystallization is decreased slightly. The Avrami parameter (n) of all samples is less than 4, indicating that in prepared glass-ceramics, it is hard to achieve three-dimensional crystal growth. The main crystalline phase is akermanite–gehlenite. The addition of TiO2 has no obvious effect on the type of main crystalline phase. The prepared glass-ceramic with 4% TiO2 show good mechanical properties with the hardness values of 542.67 MPa. The recommended content of TiO2 is 4% for preparing glass-ceramics.

AbstractTwo aluminosilicate oxyfluoride glass systems, a lead-cadmium-aluminosilicate oxyfluoride and a lithium-lanthanum-aluminosilicate oxyfluoride, doped with different TbF3 concentrations, have been fabricated and investigated. By appropriate heat treatment of the as-prepared glasses above, transparent glass-ceramics (TGC) were obtained. The glass-ceramics contain Tb:Pb(Cd)F2 or Tb:LaF3 nano-crystals in the glass-matrix. Differential scanning calorimetry, Raman scattering, and luminescence under both UV and β-particle excitation have been investigated on as-prepared glasses and glass-ceramics. It has been found that the terbium-doped lithium-lanthanum-aluminosilicate oxyfluoride glass exhibits good UV excited luminescence and β-induced luminescence. The luminescence yield increases for glass-ceramic compared to that of the as-prepared glass. The including of LaF3 in the glass-matrix is beneficial for a higher Tb-doping concentration and a high light yield. The light yield of lithium-lanthanum-aluminosilicate oxyfluoride glass and glass-ceramic is comparable to that of Schott IQI-301 product. However, the terbium-doped lead-cadmium-aluminosilicate oxyfluoride glass and glass-ceramic have a detrimental luminescence performance. The lead cations in the glass-matrix may create non-bridging oxygen defects, which are a strong source of charge traps, and correlated to a strong Raman “Boson” peak.

A novel one-dimensional (1D) oxalate-bridged coordination polymer of iron(III), {[NH(CH3)(C2H5)2][FeCl2(C2O4)]}n (1), exhibits remarkable humidity-sensing properties and very high proton conductivity at room temperature (2.70 × 10−4 (Ω·cm)−1 at 298 K under 93% relative humidity), in addition to the independent antiferromagnetic spin chains of iron(III) ions bridged by oxalate groups (J = −7.58(9) cm−1). Moreover, the time-dependent measurements show that 1 could maintain a stable proton conductivity for at least 12 h. Charge transport and magnetic properties were investigated by impedance spectroscopy and magnetization measurements, respectively. Compound 1 consists of infinite anionic zig-zag chains [FeCl2(C2O4)]nn− and interposed diethylmethylammonium cations (C2H5)2(CH3)NH+, which act as hydrogen bond donors toward carbonyl oxygen atoms. Extraordinarily, the studied coordination polymer exhibits two reversible phase transitions: from the high-temperature phase HT to the mid-temperature phase MT at T ~213 K and from the mid-temperature phase MT to the low-temperature phase LT at T ~120 K, as revealed by in situ powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All three polymorphs show large linear thermal expansion coefficients.

Dark brown glasses were prepared from residues of basalt quarries and wastes of ceramic factories. Addition of CaF2, Cr2O3 and their mixture CaF2-Cr2O3 were used as nucleation catalysts. Generally, structures with augite and anorthite as major phases and small amount of magnetite and olivine phases were developed through the crystallization process. In the samples heat treated at 900?C the dominant phase is augite, whereas the content of anorthite usually overcomes the augite at higher temperature (1100?C). Fine to medium homogenous microstructures were detected in the prepared glass-ceramic samples. The coefficient of thermal expansion and microhardnessmeasurements of the glass-ceramic samples were from 6.16?10-6 to 8.96?10-6?C-1 (in the 20-500?C) and 5.58 to 7.16GP, respectively.

This study focused on the effect of Zr-inclusion on Na[Formula: see text] conduction properties of the newly developed glass–ceramic solid solutions of Na5FeSi4O[Formula: see text] and Na4ZrSi4O[Formula: see text]. We experimentally confirmed formation of an all proportional solid solution in the range of [Formula: see text]= 0 and 1.0 with the composition Na[Formula: see text]Fe[Formula: see text]Zr[Formula: see text]Si4O[Formula: see text]. Glass–ceramic with a fast Na[Formula: see text]-conducting Na5YSi4O[Formula: see text]-type single phase was obtained in all the solid solutions. The conduction properties of the glass–ceramics were improved with increasing content of Zr, and Na4ZrSi4O[Formula: see text] was the most conductive glass–ceramic. The ionic conductivities were as high as 1.9 × 10[Formula: see text] S cm[Formula: see text] and 9.3 × 10[Formula: see text] S cm[Formula: see text] at temperatures of 25[Formula: see text]C and 300 [Formula: see text]C, respectively. The improved conductivity was attributed to the expansion of the conduction path by larger Zr ions replacing FeO6 octahedra.
