Non-monocrystalline double-glass components

Are nanoglasses crystalline or non-crystalline?

This is not possible in today's glasses. The new features of nanoglasses—consisting of nanometer-sized glassy regions connected by interfaces—are that their properties may be controlled by varying their chemical and/or defect microstructures, and that their interfaces have a new kind of non-crystalline structure.

What are silicate-based multicomponent glasses?

Abstract Silicate-based multicomponent glasses are of high interest for technical applications due to their tailored properties, such as an adaptable refractive index or coefficient of thermal expa...

Can metal-organic frameworks be combined with inorganic aluminophosphate glasses?

Metal-organic frameworks constitute a family of glass formers that is distinct from those that are polymeric, metallic, or inorganic. Here the authors show that they can be combined with different inorganic aluminophosphate glasses to produce a composite with mechanical properties intermediate between the two end-members.

How are multicomponent glasses made?

Subsequently, the composites are thermally converted into transparent glass. By incorporating titanium oxide, germanium oxide, or zirconium dioxide into the silicate glass network, multicomponent glasses are fabricated with an adjustable refractive index nD between 1.4584–1.4832 and an Abbe number V of 53.85–61.13.

Are ngmgs a new class of non-crystalline materials?

This review is focused on the recent studies of NGMGs (preparation and properties), which represent a new class of non-crystalline materials. At present, NGMGs are mainly produced by inert gas condensation and physical vapor deposition.

What are metallic nanoglasses?

Metallic nanoglasses - a new class of non-crystalline metallic materials. Metallic glass granules up to 100 nm interconnected by glass/glass interfaces. Synthesized by inert gas condensation and physical vapor deposition. Unique properties: ultrahigh stability, ferromagnetism, biocompatiblity and good mechanical properties.
