The phase component, microstructures, magnetic properties and thermal conductivities of the prepared glass ceramics were investigated by using X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer and thermophysical properties tester, respectively.

The typical DSC curve, X-ray diffraction（XRD） and transmission electron microscopy（TEM） patterns were measured. The transmission spectra and luminescent properties were investigated. The decay times of the Gd^3＋ ions at 312 nm excited with 275 nm for the Ce^3＋ ions doped glass and glass ceramics specimens and the energy transfer process between Gd^3＋ ions and Ce^3＋ ions were also studied. The XRD analysis and the TEM images confirmed the generation of the spherical Ba Gd F5 nanocrystals. Compared with the PG specimen, the intensity of the luminescence spectra of the glass ceramics specimens was apparently enhanced with the heat treatment temperature increasing, and a blue shift in the excitation spectra and the emission spectra of glass ceramics specimens was obviously observed. In the fluorescence decay curves of the Gd^3＋ ions, it could be obviously observed that the fluorescent intensity decays in the Ce^3＋ ions doped glass and glass ceramics specimens decreased rapidly with the increase of the heat treatment temperature. In addition, the energy transfer efficiency from Gd3＋ions to Ce^3＋ ions was also calculated.展开更多

The results show that with the increase of Al2O3 content the bands assigned to [SiO4] nearly disappear. Aluminum replaces silicon in the glass network, which is helpful for the formation of boron-oxygen rings. The increase of the transition temperature Tg and softening temperature Tf of PbO-B2O3-SiO2 glass ceramics leads to the increase of liquid phase precipitation temperature and promotes the structure stability in the glasses, and consequently contributes to the decreasing trend of crystallization. Densification and dielectric constants increase with the increase of Al2O3 content, but the dielectric loss is worsened. By contrast, the 3% （mass fraction） Al2O3-doped glass ceramics sintered at 725℃ have better properties of density p=2.72 g/cm3, dielectric constant Er=6.78, dielectric loss tan8=2.6×10^-3 （measured at 9.8 GHz）, which suggest that the glass ceramics can be applied in multilayer microwave devices requiring low sintering temperatures.展开更多

The iron-rich wastes were mixed and melted in different proportions with soda-lime glass cullet and sand. The devitrification of the parent glasses produced from the different mixtures was investigated using differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties of the glass-ceramic were assessed by hardness and indentation fracture toughness measurement. A glass ceramic with mixture of 60 wt pct iron-rich wastes, 25 wt pct sand, and 15 wt pct glass cullet exhibited the best combination of properties, namely, hardness 7.9 CPa and fracture toughness 3.75 MPa·m^1/2, for the sake of containing magnetite in marked dendritic morphology. These new hard glass ceramics are candidate materials for wear resistant tiles and paving for heavy industrial floors.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

Fluoride nanocrystals Ba2GdF7 were successfully precipitated in glass matrix, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results. In comparison with the as-made precursor, significant enhancement of upconversion luminescence was observed in the Er3+/Yb3+ codoped oxyfluoride glass ceramics, which may be due to the variation of coordination environment around Er3+ and Yb3+ ions after crystallization. The transition mechanisms of the green and red upconversion luminescence were ascribed to a two-photon process, and that of the blue upconversion luminescence was a three-photon process.展开更多

文摘Wollastonite glass ceramics were prepared using the reactive crystallization sintering method by mixing waste glass powders with gehlenite.The crystallization property,thermodynamics,and kinetics of the prepared wollastonite glass ceramics were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis,scanning electron microscopy,energy-dispersive spectroscopy,high-resolution transmission electron microscopy,and differential thermal analysis.Results showed that crystals of wollastonite and alumina could be found in the gehlenite through its reaction with silicon dioxide.The wollastonite crystals showed a lath shape with a certain length-to-diameter ratio.The crystals exhibited excellent bridging and reinforcing effects.In the crystallization process,the aluminum ions in gehlenite diffused into the glass and the silicon ions in the glass diffused into gehlenite.Consequently,the three-dimensional frame structure of gehlenite was partially damaged to form a chain-like wollastonite.The results of crystallization thermodynamics and kinetics indicated that crystallization reaction could occur spontaneously under a low temperature(1173 K),with 20 wt%gehlenite added as the reactive crystallization promoter.The crystallization activation energy was evaluated as 261.99 kJ/mol by using the Kissinger method.The compression strength of the wollastonite glass ceramic samples(7.5 cm×7.5 cm)reached 251 MPa.

文摘Oxyfluoride borosilicate glass with the molar composition of 60SiO2-15B2O3- 15Na2O-8CaF2-2NaF-0.25Eu2O3 was synthesized lay a traditional glass melting method. Glass ceramics containing CaF2 nanocrystals were prepared by heat treating the glass samples at a temperature in the range of 6204580 ℃. The results of X-ray diffraction （XRD） indicated that the average crystallite size and the lattice constant of CaF2 nanocrystals increased with the heat treatment temperature increasing. The luminescence spectra showed that the emission intensity of Eu3＋ doped glass ceramics was stronger than that of the glass matrix, and increased with the heat treatment temperature increasing. The left edge of excitation band shifted to shorter wavelength in the glass ceramics. The local environments of Eu3＋ ions in the glass and glass ceramics were different.
文摘Er^3＋ doped transparent oxyfluoride glass ceramics version and near infrared luminescence behavior of Er^3＋ in containing LaF3 nanocrystals were prepared and the up-conglasses heat-treating time and temperature, the size （varied from 0 to 19 and glass ceramics were investigated. With increasing nm） and crystallinity （varied from 0 to 47%） of LaF3 nanocrystals in the glass ceramics are increased. The up-conversion luminescence intensity of Er^3＋ ions in the glass ceramics is much stronger than that in the glasses The near infrared emission of Er^3＋ ions in and increased significantly with increasing heat-treating time and temperature the glass ceramics is found to be similar to that in the glasses.

文摘Augite-based glass ceramics were synthesised using ZnO,FeO,and Fe_(2)O_(3)as additives,and the spinel formation,matrix structure,crystallisation thermodynamics,and physicochemical properties were investigated.The results showed that oxides resulted in numerous preliminary spinels in the glass matrix.FeO,ZnO,and Fe_(2)O_(3)influenced the formation of spinel,while FeO simplified the glass network.FeO and ZnO promoted bulk crystallisation of the parent glass.After adding oxides,the grains of augite phase were refined,and the relative quantities of augite crystal planes were also influenced.All samples displayed good mechanical properties and chemical stability.The 2wt%ZnO-doping sample displayed the maximum flexural strength(170.3 MPa).Chromium leaching amount values of all the samples were less than the national standard(1.5 mg/L),confirming the safety of the materials.In conclusion,an appropriate amount of zinc-containing raw material is beneficial for the preparation of augite-based glass ceramics.

文摘The transparent oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing Ba Gd F5 nanocrystals were prepared with a composition of 42 Si O2-12Na2O-16Al2O3-24 Ba F2-4Gd2O3-2Ce F3（mol.%） by thermal treatment technology. The typical DSC curve, X-ray diffraction（XRD） and transmission electron microscopy（TEM） patterns were measured. The transmission spectra and luminescent properties were investigated. The decay times of the Gd^3＋ ions at 312 nm excited with 275 nm for the Ce^3＋ ions doped glass and glass ceramics specimens and the energy transfer process between Gd^3＋ ions and Ce^3＋ ions were also studied. The XRD analysis and the TEM images confirmed the generation of the spherical Ba Gd F5 nanocrystals. Compared with the PG specimen, the intensity of the luminescence spectra of the glass ceramics specimens was apparently enhanced with the heat treatment temperature increasing, and a blue shift in the excitation spectra and the emission spectra of glass ceramics specimens was obviously observed. In the fluorescence decay curves of the Gd^3＋ ions, it could be obviously observed that the fluorescent intensity decays in the Ce^3＋ ions doped glass and glass ceramics specimens decreased rapidly with the increase of the heat treatment temperature. In addition, the energy transfer efficiency from Gd3＋ions to Ce^3＋ ions was also calculated.

文摘The effects of Al2O3 addition on both the sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of PbO-B203-SiO2 glass ceramics were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscope （FTIR）, differential thermal analysis （DTA）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results show that with the increase of Al2O3 content the bands assigned to [SiO4] nearly disappear. Aluminum replaces silicon in the glass network, which is helpful for the formation of boron-oxygen rings. The increase of the transition temperature Tg and softening temperature Tf of PbO-B2O3-SiO2 glass ceramics leads to the increase of liquid phase precipitation temperature and promotes the structure stability in the glasses, and consequently contributes to the decreasing trend of crystallization. Densification and dielectric constants increase with the increase of Al2O3 content, but the dielectric loss is worsened. By contrast, the 3% （mass fraction） Al2O3-doped glass ceramics sintered at 725℃ have better properties of density p=2.72 g/cm3, dielectric constant Er=6.78, dielectric loss tan8=2.6×10^-3 （measured at 9.8 GHz）, which suggest that the glass ceramics can be applied in multilayer microwave devices requiring low sintering temperatures.
文摘A study has been carried out on the feasibility of using high iron content wastes, generated during steel making, as a raw material for the production of glass ceramic. The iron-rich wastes were mixed and melted in different proportions with soda-lime glass cullet and sand. The devitrification of the parent glasses produced from the different mixtures was investigated using differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties of the glass-ceramic were assessed by hardness and indentation fracture toughness measurement. A glass ceramic with mixture of 60 wt pct iron-rich wastes, 25 wt pct sand, and 15 wt pct glass cullet exhibited the best combination of properties, namely, hardness 7.9 CPa and fracture toughness 3.75 MPa·m^1/2, for the sake of containing magnetite in marked dendritic morphology. These new hard glass ceramics are candidate materials for wear resistant tiles and paving for heavy industrial floors.

文摘In order to investigate the influence of different heavy metal ions on the formation of the oxyfluoride glasses and glass ceramics, samples with different Pb F2/Cd F2 ratios have been prepared by the melting quenching and thermal treatment method. 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.

文摘Er3+/Yb3+-codoped transparent oxyfluoride borosilicate glass ceramics containing Ba2GdF7 nanocrystals were prepared and spectroscopic properties of rare earth ions were investigated. Fluoride nanocrystals Ba2GdF7 were successfully precipitated in glass matrix, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results. In comparison with the as-made precursor, significant enhancement of upconversion luminescence was observed in the Er3+/Yb3+ codoped oxyfluoride glass ceramics, which may be due to the variation of coordination environment around Er3+ and Yb3+ ions after crystallization. The transition mechanisms of the green and red upconversion luminescence were ascribed to a two-photon process, and that of the blue upconversion luminescence was a three-photon process.

文摘CaO-B203-SiO2 （CBS） glass powders are prepared by conventional glass melting method at different melting temperatures whose properties and microstructures are characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. It is found that there are SiO2 and some unknown phases in CBS glass melting liquid from 1 300 ℃ to 1 500 ℃ and the amount of these phases decreases with the increase of the melting temperature. The CBS glass melted at 1 450 ℃ could be sintered from 830 ℃ to 930 ℃ and the bulk densities of the samples are all higher than 2.4 g/cm^3. From the points of the properties and energy conservation, the melting temperature of 1 450 ℃ is the optimal melting temperature. The glass ceramic sintered at 850 ℃ exhibits better dielectric properties： er=6.33, tan6=2.2×10^-3 at 10 GHz, and the major phases of the samples are CaSiO3, CaB2O4 and SiO2.
