Structure of Bi_2O_3-ZnO-B_2O_3 system low-melting sealing glass

Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3 system glass is a kind of lead-free low melting sealing glasses. The structure of Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3 system low-melting sealing glass was investigated by DSC, FT-IR, XRD and SEM. The results show that with the increase of B2O3 content, the transition temperature Tg and softening temperature Tf of Bi2O3-ZnO-B2O3 system low-melting sealing glasses increase, which leads to the liquid phase precipitation temperature increasing and promotes the structure stability in the glass. With increasing the heat treatment temperature, a large number of liquid phases appear in samples and the sinter efficiency of the samples increases. The FT-IR spectra of the glasses show the presence of some bands that are assigned to vibrations of Bi--O bond from [BO3] pyramidal and [BiO6] octahedral units and B--O from [BO3] and [BO4] units. With the decrease of B203 content, the crystallization tendency of the glass increases. In glass samples Bl and B〉 crystallization starts at 460 ℃ and 540 ℃, respectively. Both of them precipitate Bi24B2O39 phases.

Microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of lead borosilicate glass ceramics with Al_2O_3

The effects of Al2O3 addition on both the sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of PbO-B203-SiO2 glass ceramics were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscope （FTIR）, differential thermal analysis （DTA）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results show that with the increase of Al2O3 content the bands assigned to [SiO4] nearly disappear. Aluminum replaces silicon in the glass network, which is helpful for the formation of boron-oxygen rings. The increase of the transition temperature Tg and softening temperature Tf of PbO-B2O3-SiO2 glass ceramics leads to the increase of liquid phase precipitation temperature and promotes the structure stability in the glasses, and consequently contributes to the decreasing trend of crystallization. Densification and dielectric constants increase with the increase of Al2O3 content, but the dielectric loss is worsened. By contrast, the 3% （mass fraction） Al2O3-doped glass ceramics sintered at 725℃ have better properties of density p=2.72 g/cm3, dielectric constant Er=6.78, dielectric loss tan8=2.6×10^-3 （measured at 9.8 GHz）, which suggest that the glass ceramics can be applied in multilayer microwave devices requiring low sintering temperatures.

With increasing of the ratios of SiO2/B2O3 and Al2O3/SiO2, the broadening degree of absorption peak is increased. The experimental results provide basis for making special optical glasses which have the characteristics of high absorption for special wavelength laser and high transparence for visible light.

采用熔融法制备了不同Na_(2)O含量的透明锂铝硅微晶玻璃,通过DSC、XRD、FESEM等测试方法研究了不同Na_(2)O含量对玻璃析晶及性能的影响。结果表明:Na_(2)O的引入能显著降低玻璃的转变温度和析晶温度,抑制LiAlSi_(4)O_(10)晶相的析出。但Na_(2)O的引入促使微晶玻璃中析出Li_(2)Si_(2)O_(5)新相,并且随着Na_(2)O引入量的增加,Li_(2)Si_(2)O_(5)转变为主晶相。由于晶体尺寸均为纳米级,主晶相的转变对透过率影响较小,微晶玻璃的可见光透过率均高于85%。主晶相的转变有效增强了微晶玻璃的机械性能,其弯曲强度由300 MPa提升至331 MPa。Na_(2)O的引入有效增强了Na-K交换,Na_(2)O含量为4%(质量分数)的Li 2O-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)微晶玻璃在410℃的KNO_(3)熔盐中交换6 h后,维氏硬度由7.108 GPa提升至7.403 GPa,弯曲强度由331 MPa提升至470 MPa。

Three-photon-excited fluorescence of Tb^(3+)-doped CaO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2 glass by femtosecond laser irradiation

A near infrared to visible blue, green, and red upconversion luminescence in a Tb^3＋-doped CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass was studied, which was excited using 800 nm femtosecond laser irradiation. The upconversion luminescence was attributed to ^5D3→^7F5, ^5D3→^7F4, ^5D3→^7F3, ^5D4→^7F6, ^5D4→^7F5, ^5D4→^7F4, and ^5D4→^7F3 transitions of Tb^3＋. The relationship between upconversion luminescence intensity and the pump power indicated that a three-photon simultaneous absorption process was dominant in this upconversion luminescence. The intense red, green, and blue upconversion luminescence of Tb^3＋-doped CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass may be potentially useful in developing three-dimensional display applications.

Effect of Different Forms of Silica on Sintering, Microstructure and Properties of Borosilicate Glass/Al_2O_3 Composites

The effects of the introduction of silica glass and silica ceramic into Ca-Al-B-Si-O glass/ Al2O3 composites on decreasing the shrinkage and the dielectric constant of samples were investigated by FTIR, DSC, XRD and SEM. The results show that silica ceramic filler can better improve the formation of Si- O-Si network in the composites under high temperature, which leads to increased continuity of glass network at high temperature, and deduces the increase of viscosity of composites and further results in the decrease in the shrinkage of samples. Densification, three-point strength, and dielectric constant of samples decrease with the increase of silica glass or silica ceramic content. By contrast, Ca-Al-B-Si-O glass/Al2O3 composites with 4 wt% silica ceramic exhibit better properties of a bulk density of 2.81 g.cm-3, a porosity of 0.3%, a 3dp value of 202 MPa, a er value of 7.41 , a tan d value of 8.3 ×10^-4 at 10 MHz and a well matching with Ag electrodes. This material is suitable to be used as the LTCC material for the application in wireless communications.

Microstructure and dielectric properties of Ca-Al-B-Si-O glass/Al_2O_3 composites with various alkali oxides contents

The effects of alkali oxides （Na2O and K2O addition on both the sintering behavior and dielectric properties of Ca-AI-B-Si-O glass/Al2O3 composites were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, differential scanning calorimeter （DSC）, X-ray diffractometry （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results show that the increasing amount of alkali oxides in the glass causes the decrease of [SiO4], which results in the decrease of the continuity of glass network, and leads to the decrease of the softening temperature Tf of the samples and the increasing trend of crystallization. And that deduces corresponding rise of densification, dielectric constant, dielectric loss of the low temperature co-fired ceramic （LTCC） materials and the decrease of its thermal conductivity. By contrast, the borosilicate glass/A1203 composites with 1.5% （mass fraction） alkali oxides sintered at 875 ℃ for 30 rain exhibit better properties of a bulk density of 2.79 g/cm3, a porosity of 0.48%, a 2 value of 2.28 W/（m.K）, a er value of 7.82 and a tand value of 9.1 × 10-4 （measured at 10 MHz）.

BRIGHT LONG AFTERGLOW PHOSPHORESCENCE GLASS MADE OF SrAl_(2)O_(4): Eu^(2+), Dy^(3+) AND GLASS FRITS

Bright long afterglow phosphorescence glasses were prepared by using SrAl2O4： Eu^2＋, Dy^3＋ phosphors and suitable glass frits together. The SrAl2O4： Eu^2＋, Dy^3＋ phosphors were initially prepared by the solid reaction method. Three kinds of glass frits were prepared to match the SrAl2O4： Eu^2＋, Dy^3＋ phosphors. Effects of the compositions of the glass frits, the ratios of the phosphors to the frits us well us the firing temperature and firing times on the properties of the samples were discussed. XRD analysis indicated the samples exhibited the typical diffraction peaks of SrAlwO4： Eu^2＋, Dy^3＋. The emission spectra of the samples showed broad bands peaking at 510nm.The excitation spectra of the samples showed broad bands ranging from 300 to 480hm. These are believed due to the 5d4f-4f transitions of Eu^2＋ in the SrAl2O4： Eu^2＋, Dy^3＋ phosphors. The afterglow luminescence of the samples excited by a 40W fluorescence lamp for 30min can be observed in the dark for more lOh with the naked eyes. It can find wide applications in many fields.
