The data on the specifics of synthesis of elemental silver nanoparticles (Ag-NP) having
various geometric shapes (pseudo spherical, prismatic, cubic, trigonal-pyramidal, etc.) …

Current status of studies devoted to thermal poling of multicomponent glasses and related
applications are briefly reviewed. Physical phenomena occurring in the course of the poling …

In this paper, we report the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using the pure enzyme alpha-
amylase. The silver ions were reduced in the presence of alpha-amylase, leading to the …

The potential for realizing robust, monolithic, near-surface refractive micro-optic elements
with long-lived stability is demonstrated in visible and infrared transmitting glasses capable …

Motivated by the advantages of two-electrode flash sintering over normal sintering, we have
investigated the effect of an external electric field on the viscosity of glass. The results show …

Compositional and structural modification of the subanodic region of poled soda-lime glass
under secondary heat treatment is studied using secondary ion mass spectrometry and …

Second-order optical susceptibility, χ^(2), has been induced in thermally poled
chalcogenide glasses, doped with varying levels of sodium. Using alkali-doped …

Relief diffraction gratings are formed via acidic chemical etching of a periodically poled soda-
lime glass. The thermal poling under 1000 V DC is performed at 325° C using a thermally …

We fabricated silver nanoisland films and patterned silver nanoisland films using out-
diffusion of silver from glass in the course of the ion-exchanged glass substrate annealing in …

A new technique to imprint phase and amplitude patterns into glass is proposed. The
technique is based on the thermal poling of oxide glasses via a figurate plane anode which …
