Six niobium rich glasses presenting different sodium contents were synthetized. On the
basis of complementary infrared and Raman analysis, the influence of the sodium content …

Application of electric field and moderately elevated temperature depletes the side facing
anode from alkali present in glasses. The change of composition of the treated glass results …

It has been demonstrated that thermally poled regions of silicate glasses are capable of
blocking penetration of silver ions into the glasses in the course of ion exchange processing …

Borogermanate glasses containing terbium ions are interesting materials due to their
luminescent and magnetic properties. Terbium can present two different oxidation states and …

Glass is important as a substrate for coatings in a wide range of applications or as a
substrate for the fabrication of optical micro/nano structures. Coating by wet chemistry …

A simple, versatile technique for structuring conductive thin metal films is proposed. Over the
last years, glass poling and electric field assisted dissolution of metal nanoparticles and …

Chalcogenide glasses exhibit a wide transparency domain spanning from near infrared (IR)
to mid-IR and thus, have become highly attractive optical materials in a range of …

This short communication presents an approach to obtaining a deep, up to several tens of
micrometers, surface relief in photosensitive silicate glasses. The approach is based on a …

We demonstrate a simple non-destructive technique to deduce the thickness and average
index of a modified layer formed beneath a glass surface by thermal poling. It is based on …

The influence of thermal poling and ion exchange on the rate of reactive ion etching of a
soda-lime silicate glass in CF 4-Ar plasma was studied. It is shown that the replacement of …
