Abstract
The glass formation in the system ZrF4-BiF3-BaF2 has been investigated in the composition range (75–30)ZrF4-(0–60)BiF3-(0–40)BaF2, mol %. The synthesis and thermal and optical properties of bismuth-barium-fluorozirconate glass were described. As was shown by the DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) method, at the BiF3 content of 20–35 mol %, glass with the highest stability against crystallization was formed. Further stabilization of the vitreous state can be attained using additives of alkali metals and trifluorides.
