Composition and Stability Study on the IR Transmitting $ZrF_4$-Based Glasses

적외선투과성 $ZrF_4$-유리의 조성과 안정성에 관한 연구

  • Published : 1990.03.01

Abstract

Glasses of different compositions were synthesized by substituting each component of 56ZrF4-14BaF2-6LaF3-4AlF3-20NaF(ZBLAN) with HfH4, SrF2, GdF3, InF3 and LiF3, each of similar size and chemical property with the component being substituted, respectively. The heating rate used in the DSC runs was 10K/min. All ofthe glasses exhibit glass transition temperatures of 510$\pm$10K, while crystallization temperatures vary between 625 and 720K depending upon different glass compositions. For most glasses crystallization temperatures obtained while cooled are lower than those obtained while heated, but InF3 or SrF2 containing glasses showed opposite trend. HBLAN, ZHBLAN and ZHBLANLi glasses, which were made by substituting HfH4, LiF for ZrF4 and NaF of ZBLAN respectively, showed improvement in the glass stability.
