Abstract

A sol-gel method has been proposed for preparing the batch used in the synthesis of a photostructured gold-containing glass of the composition 33.56Li2O · 66.5SiO2. It has been found that the main crystalline phase in the glass of this composition is lithium disilicate Li2O · 2SiO2. The temperature-time dependences of the nucleation rate of lithium disilicate crystals with a gold impurity have been investigated under conditions of X-ray irradiation of the initial glass and without irradiation. It has been shown that, in the absence of X-ray irradiation, the gold impurities do not affect the nucleation of lithium disilicate crystals. It has been established that the use of the sol-gel method for the preparation of the batch for synthesizing photostructured gold-containing glasses leads to a more uniform spatial distribution of gold microimpurities in the bulk of the glass.
