Some Transition Ions in Heavy Metal Fluoride Glasses
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
The heavy metal fluoride glasses (HMFG) have attracted considerable attention in recent years because of their unusual physical and chemical properties which allow potential use in numerous electrical and optical applications. The HMFG are transparent over a wide range of the optical spectrum (from 220 nm to 8,μ) and have sufficient chemical stability to make them a suitable optical material middle IR fibers optics. Their high anionic conductivity permits their application as solid electrolytes. They are also of interest scientifically since their structure is different from that of other inorganic glasses. The high coordination number of the network formers ions is the principal structural peculiarity of the HMFG.
