Abstract Unconventional bismuth (Bi 2 O 3) glasses containing zinc oxide (ZnO), lead oxide
(PbO), and samarium oxide (Sm 2 O 3) were prepared using a melt quenching technique …

We report the origins of the coloration of Bi 2 O 3–SiO 2, Bi 2 O 3–B 2 O 3, and Bi 2 O 3–P 2
O 5 glasses. The glasses were quantitatively analyzed to reveal the Bi valence state and …

Abstract lead borosilicate glasses comprising samarium oxide (Sm 2 O 3) had been
developed by using melt-quenching procedure. The values of glass density became …

The effects of composition and structure on stress-induced birefringence were studied for
glasses with the nominal molar compositions xZnO–(67-x) SnO–33P 2 O 5. The photoelastic …

This work elucidated the effect of the addition of bismuth (III) oxide on the structure of low-
melting boron frits applied for the production of ceramic roof tiles. Three commercial frits …

The photoelastic constant of nominal molar compositions RO (R'2 O 3)–SiO 2 (R= Pb, R'=
Sb, Bi) decreases with increasing RO and R'2 O 3, which is in agreement with calculations …

Lithium–zinc–borosilicate glasses with different lead concentrations were made using the
melt-quenching process to examine the effects of B2O3/PbO substitution on the structural …

In this study, a method for evaluating the uncertainty of stress-optic coefficient
measurements of photoelastic materials on a uniaxial tension/compression specimen is …

A new method of pre-cladding amorphous glass and glass-ceramic brazing was invented to
obtain a high-reliability bonding of yttrium iron garnet ferrite (YIG) and magnesium titanate …

The atomic parameters of metal ion-oxygen speciation such as bond-lengths and nearest
neighbor distances for Ba-O, Te-O and OO pairs, co-ordination numbers and bond angle …
