Effect of AlF3 on the Density and Elastic Properties of Zinc Tellurite Glass Systems

ABSTRACT: This paper presents the results of the physical and elastic properties of the ternary zinc oxyfluoro tellurite glass system. Systematic series of glasses (AlF3)x(ZnO)y(TeO2)z with x = 0–19, y = 0–20 and z = 80, 85, 90 mol% were synthesized by the conventional rapid melt quenching technique. The composition dependence of the physical, mainly density and molar volume, and elastic properties is discussed in term of the AlF3 modifiers addition that are expected to produce quite substantial changes in their physical properties. The absence of any crystalline peaks in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the present glass samples indicates the amorphous nature. The addition of AlF3 lowered the values of the densities in ternary oxyfluorotellurite glass systems. The longitudinal and transverse ultrasonic waves propagated in each glass sample were measured using a MBS8020 ultrasonic data acquisition system. All the velocity data were taken at 5 MHz frequency and room temperature. The longitudinal modulus (L), shear modulus (G), Young’s modulus (E), bulk modulus (K) and Poisson’s ratio (

Exploring the Influence of ZnF<sub>2</sub> on Zinc-Tellurite Glass: Unveiling Changes in OH Content, Structure, and Optical Properties.

Project description:Tellurite glasses have garnered considerable interest as optical host materials due to their advantageous properties, including low processing temperature, high resistance to corrosion and crystallization, and excellent solubility for rare earth ions. However, their applicability in the infrared (IR) region is limited by the absorption of species with distinct vibrations. The incorporation of fluorides has emerged as a promising approach to reduce hydroxyl (OH) absorption during the precursor melting process. In this study, we investigated the influence of ZnF2 on a glass matrix composed of TeO2-ZnO-Na2O, resulting in notable changes in the glass structure and optical properties, with Eu3+ serving as an environmental optical probe. The samples underwent comprehensive structural, thermal, and optical characterization. Structural analyses encompassed 19F and 125Te nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), with the latter being complemented by mathematical simulations, and these findings were consistent with observations from Raman scattering. The main findings indicate an enhancement in thermal stability, modifications in the Te-O connectivity, and a reduction in emission intensity attributed to the effects of ligand polarizability and symmetry changes around Eu3+. Additionally, the fluorotellurite matrices exhibited a shift in the absorption edge toward higher energies, accompanied by a decrease in mid-IR absorptions, thereby expanding the transparency window. As a result, these glass matrices hold substantial potential for applications across various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, including optical fiber drawing and the development of solid-state emitting materials.

Controlled formation of gold nanoparticles with tunable plasmonic properties in tellurite glass.

Project description:Silicate glasses with metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have been of intense interest in art, science and technology as the plasmonic properties of these NPs equip glass with light modulation capability. The so-called striking technique has enabled precise control of the in situ formation of metallic NPs in silicate glasses for applications from coloured glasses to photonic devices. Since tellurite glasses exhibit the unique combination of comparably easy fabrication, low phonon energy, wide transmission window and high solubility of luminescent rare earth ions, there has been a significant amount of work over the past two decades to adapt the striking technique to form gold or silver NPs in tellurite glasses. Despite this effort, the striking technique has remained insufficient for tellurite glasses to form metal NPs suitable for photonic applications. Here, we first uncover the challenges of the traditional striking technique to create gold NPs in tellurite glass. Then, we demonstrate precise control of the size and concentration of gold NPs in tellurite glass by developing new approaches to both steps of the striking technique: a controlled gold crucible corrosion technique to incorporate gold ions in tellurite glass and a glass powder reheating technique to subsequently transform the gold ions to gold NPs. Using the Mie theory, the size, size distribution and concentration of the gold NPs formed in tellurite glass are determined from the plasmonic properties of the NPs. This fundamental research provides guidance for designing and manipulating the plasmonic properties in tellurite glass for photonics research and applications.

Hyperconnected molecular glass network architectures with exceptional elastic properties.

Project description:Hyperconnected network architectures can endow nanomaterials with remarkable mechanical properties that are fundamentally controlled by designing connectivity into the intrinsic molecular structure. For hybrid organic-inorganic nanomaterials, here we show that by using 1,3,5 silyl benzene precursors, the connectivity of a silicon atom within the network extends beyond its chemical coordination number, resulting in a hyperconnected network with exceptional elastic stiffness, higher than that of fully dense silica. The exceptional intrinsic stiffness of these hyperconnected glass networks is demonstrated with molecular dynamics models and these model predictions are calibrated through the synthesis and characterization of an intrinsically porous hybrid glass processed from 1,3,5(triethoxysilyl)benzene. The proposed molecular design strategy applies to any materials system wherein the mechanical properties are controlled by the underlying network connectivity.

Magnetically sensitive nanodiamond-doped tellurite glass fibers.

Project description:Traditional optical fibers are insensitive to magnetic fields, however many applications would benefit from fiber-based magnetometry devices. In this work, we demonstrate a magnetically sensitive optical fiber by doping nanodiamonds containing nitrogen vacancy centers into tellurite glass fibers. The fabrication process provides a robust and isolated sensing platform as the magnetic sensors are fixed in the tellurite glass matrix. Using optically detected magnetic resonance from the doped nanodiamonds, we demonstrate detection of local magnetic fields via side excitation and longitudinal collection. This is a first step towards intrinsically magneto-sensitive fiber devices with future applications in medical magneto-endoscopy and remote mineral exploration sensing.

Continuous spatial field confocal thermometry using lanthanide doped tellurite glass.

Project description:Distinguishing between microscopic variances in temperature in both space and time with high precision can open up new opportunities in optical sensing. In this paper, we present a novel approach to optically measure temperature from the fluorescence of erbium:ytterbium doped tellurite glass, with fast temporal resolution at micron-scale localisation over an area with sub millimetre spatial dimensions. This confocal-based approach provides a micron-scale image of temperature variations over a 200 μ m × 200 μ m field of view at sub-1 second time intervals. We test our sensing platform by monitoring the real-time evaporation of a water droplet over a wide field of view and track it's evaporative cooling effect on the glass where we report a net temperature change of 6.97 K ± 0.03 K. This result showcases a confocal approach to thermometry to provide high temporal and spatial resolution over a microscopic field of view with the goal of providing real-time measures of temperature on the micro-scale.

Super elastic strain limit in metallic glass films.

Project description:On monolithic Ni-Nb metallic glass films, we experimentally revealed 6.6% elastic strain limit by in-situ transmission electron microscopy observations. The origin of high elastic strain limit may link with high free volume in the film, causing the rearrangement of loosely bonded atomic clusters (or atoms) upon elastic deformation. This high elastic limit of metallic glass films will shed light on new application fields for metallic glasses, and also trigger more studies for deformation mechanism of amorphous materials in general.

Hot dense silica glass with ultrahigh elastic moduli.

Project description:Silicate and oxide glasses are often chemically doped with a variety of cations to tune for desirable properties in technological applications, but their performances are often limited by relatively lower mechanical and elastic properties. Finding a new route to synthesize silica-based glasses with high elastic and mechanical properties needs to be explored. Here, we report a dense SiO2-glass with ultra-high elastic moduli using sound velocity measurements by Brillouin scattering up to 72 GPa at 300 K. High-temperature measurements were performed up to 63 GPa at 750 K and 59 GPa at 1000 K. Compared to compression at 300 K, elevated temperature helps compressed SiO2-glass effectively overcome the kinetic barrier to undergo permanent densification with enhanced coordination number and connectivity. This hot compressed SiO2-glass exhibits a substantially high bulk modulus of 361-429 GPa which is at least 2-3 times greater than the metallic, oxide, and silicate glasses at ambient conditions. Its Poisson's ratio, an indicator for the packing efficiency, is comparable to the metallic glasses. Even after temperature quench and decompression to ambient conditions, the SiO2-glass retains some of its unique properties at compression and possesses a Poisson's ratio of 0.248(11). In addition to chemical alternatives in glass syntheses, coupled compression and heating treatments can be an effective means to enhance mechanical and elastic properties in high-performance glasses.

Elastic properties of bulk and low-dimensional materials using Van der Waals density functional.

Project description:In this work, we present a high-throughput first-principles study of elastic properties of bulk and monolayer materials mainly using the vdW-DF-optB88 functional. We discuss the trends on the elastic response with respect to changes in dimensionality. We identify a relation between exfoliation energy and elastic constants for layered materials that can help to guide the search for vdW bonding in materials. We also predicted a few novel materials with auxetic behavior. The uncertainty in structural and elastic properties due to the inclusion of vdW interactions is discussed. We investigated 11,067 bulk and 257 monolayer materials. Lastly, we found that the trends in elastic constants for bulk and their monolayer counterparts can be very different. All the computational results are made publicly available at easy-to-use websites: https://www.ctcms.nist.gov/~knc6/JVASP.html and https://jarvis.nist.gov/. Our dataset can be used to identify stiff and flexible materials for industrial applications.

Atomic picture of elastic deformation in a metallic glass.

Project description:The tensile behavior of a Ni60Nb40 metallic glass (MG) has been studied by using ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculation with a large cell containing 1024 atoms (614 Ni and 410 Nb). We provide insight into how a super elastic limit can be achieved in a MG. Spatially inhomogeneous responses of single atoms and also major polyhedra are found to change greatly with increasing external stress when the strain is over 2%, causing the intrinsically viscoelastic behavior. We uncover the origin of the observed super elastic strain limit under tension (including linear and viscoelastic strains) in small-sized MG samples, mainly caused by inhomogeneous distribution of excess volumes in the form of newly formed subatomic cavities.

Effect of Waste Glass as Fine Aggregate on Properties of Mortar.

Project description:Currently, most cities landfill most waste glass, resulting in the waste of resources and environmental pollution. Therefore, to realize the recycling of waste glass, solid waste glass was recycled and broken. Waste glass sand was prepared according to the gradation of natural river sand particles and the fineness modulus screening. It was used as an alternative material to natural river sand and mixed with mortar materials with different replacements. Analysis of the mortar with different replacements (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%) was conducted by combining macro and micro tests on the change law and influence mechanism of permeability, mechanical properties, and microstructure. The results showed that: the replacement of waste glass sand effectively improved the gas permeation resistance of mortar; with the increase of replacement, the gas permeation resistance of mortar roughly showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. The replacement of waste glass sand at 20% can better promote cement's hydration so that the mortar's porosity is reduced by 16.5%. The gas permeability decreases by 57.4%; the compressive strength increases by 3%, and the elastic modulus increases by 5.9%. When the replacement rate of glass sand is 20%, the test performance of mortar is the best among the five groups.
