Glass formation and properties in the gallia-calcia system

Abstract

“The critical cooling rate for glass formation for melts containing from 37.5 to 68.0 mol % Ga₂O₃ varied from 310 ± 80°C/s to 855 ± 115°C/s. The crystallization temperature, microhardness, UV and visible transmission were measured. The density increased from 4.075 g/cm³ at 37.5 3 mol % Ga₂O₃ to 4.402 g/cm³ at 56.0 mol % Ga₂O₃. The refractive index, n_D, increased from 1.778 at 37.5 mol % Ga₂O₃ to 1.802 at 62.0 mol % Ga₂O₃. The IR spectra indicate that both GaO₄ tetrahedra and GaO₆ octahedra are present in these glasses”--Abstract, page 1.
