Abstract

Abstract:

To investigate the effect of the lanthanides and non-lanthanides elements on the thermal stability and structure of ZnO-B₂O₃-SiO₂ glass, the crystallization behavior, thermal stability and structural changes of ZnO-B₂O₃-SiO₂ glass doped with La₂O₃and Y₂O₃ were characterized by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscope (FTIR). The results showed that when the La₂O₃ and Y₂O₃additions are more than 8mol% and 6mol%, respectively, the 60ZnO-30B₂O₃-10SiO₂ glass system begins to crystallize. When La₂O₃and Y₂O₃ additions are 4mol% and 2mol%, respectively, this glass is of the best thermal stability. According to the structure research, the network linking performance of this kind of glass can be improved by a small amount addition of rare earth oxide. In contrast, the network linking performance of this kind of glass can be decreased by rare earth oxide’s addition exceeding a certain threshold value.
