  • Photoelastic properties of oxide and non-oxide glasses 

    Galbraith, Justine (2014-12-15)
    An unperturbed piece of glass is optically isotropic. Birefringence can be induced by breaking this symmetry, for example by applying a uniaxial stress to the glass. An empirical model exists which predicts when oxide ...
