Preparation of Bi4Si3O12-based Glass-ceramics and Effect of Heat Treatments on Optical Properties

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2014.13249

Abstract

Abstract: Bi₄Si₃O₁₂-based glass-ceramics with different crystalline volume fractions and transparency were prepared by the two-step heat-treatment of Bi₂O₃-SiO₂ based glass. The experimental results show that the two-step heat-treatment is favorable to control the amount and size of crystallized grains in BSO-based glass-ceramics, which correspondingly affects the transparency and optical properties of the obtained glass-ceramics. The transmission spectra of these samples indicate that the transparency of BSO-based glass-ceramic (annealed at 600℃ for 1 h, then heated to 800℃ and held for 1 h) can reach 73.1% (> 500 nm). The BSO-based glass-ceramics maintain similar optical property as that of BSO single crystal, that is, the emission of such glass-ceramics is located in visible light wavelength of 380–680 nm, and their optical intensities are almost proportional to the crystalline volume fraction. The optical intensity of BSO-based glass-ceramic at low temperature (14 K) is increased by 12 times as against that at room temperature.
