Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Data are presented on the influence of silver and sodium ions on the refractive index and structure of TeO2-WO3-La2O3 glasses. Using ellipsometry, we have obtained dispersion dependences of the refractive index of the tellurite glasses. Structural changes in the glass network have been assessed using the Wemple-DiDomenico model. Increasing the mole fraction of Na2O from 3 to 12% increases the refractive index of the glasses by 4%, whereas increasing the mole fraction of Ag2O from 5 to 12% at Na2O content of 3% increases the refractive index by 1%.
