AbstractSilicophosphate glasses with variable divalent ion dopants (Zn2+, Sr2+ or Cu2+) were prepared via melt annealing route. Parent and doped glasses were thermally heat-treated through a two-step regime to be converted into their glass–ceramic derivatives. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectral data were recorded for parent glasses and their glass–ceramics derivatives to identify the structural building […]
AbstractGlass surface modification is one of the processes which changes its physical properties. Changing optical property is a significant effect of surface modification. Among the surface modification methods, laser surface modification is attractive for researchers. Here, SiO2 glass target was irradiated by Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) in SF6 atmospheres as well as vacuum. In this […]
