NaYF4 nanocrystals with different sizes were studied under glass network modifier alkali mental oxide. The nanocrystals size in NaYF4 of Li2O modified samples was 11 nm, whereas in the Na20 and K2O modified sample, the crystal size was 25 and 43 nm, respectively. It was found that red, yellow and green upconversions were observed in SAL, SAN, SAK glass ceramics. The reported results would deepen the understanding of size effects on the lanthanide upcon- version in nanocrystals.展开更多

The different effects of Pb2 tand Cd2ton the glass network structure are investigated by FTIR and Raman spectra. During the formation of glass network structure, Pb2 tprefers to break the Sie Oe Si bond and subsequently bond to F for charge compensation, and Cd2 tprefers to break the SieO eA l bond and is surrounded by O2. Pb2 tand F gather together and form the fluoride nanocrystals,while Cd2 tremains in oxide matrix after thermal treatment. Introduction of proper Cd F2 is important to adjust and control the glass network structure and crystallization process in the fabrication of the transparent glass ceramics.展开更多

The elastic moduli increase in a temperature range up to 1600 K and decrease thereafter. The anomalous behaviour in elasticity is explained by analysing the changes of atomic-scale structure with respect to increment of temperature. The mechanism originates predominantly from distortion of the SiO4 tetrahedra network in low-temperature ranges. At an elevated temperature range, thermal-induced Si-O bond stretching dominates the process and leads to normal temperature dependence of elastic properties.展开更多

Depth profile analyses are also performed on the irradiated glass at 109 Gy. A sodium-depleted layer with a thickness of a few tens of nanometers and the corresponding increase of network polymerization on the top surface are observed after electron bombardment, while the polymerization in the subsurface region has a negligible variation with the irradiation dose. Moreover, the formation of molecular oxygen after electron irradiation is evidenced, which is mainly aggregated in the first two-micron-thick irradiated glass surface. These modifications are correlated to the network relaxation process as a consequence of the diffusion and desorption of sodium species during electron irradiation.展开更多
