Dispersive Effects of the Stress-optic Response in Oxide Glasses
(2010-06-22)Anisotropy in glass can lead to a transmitted double image due to birefringence. Stress-induced birefringence, the stress-optic effect, is undesirable for applications such as commercial imaging. The leading zero stress-optic ... -
Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Glass Ceramics: The Transparent Ferroelectric Nanocomposite LaBGeO5
(2019-04-02)The LaBGeO5 glass-ceramic composite is a transparent ferroelectric nanocomposite (TFN) material that has come under attention for its ferroelectric properties. LaBGeO5 crystals-in-glass can be formed through controlled ... -
IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ACOUSTO-OPTIC METHOD FOR DETERMINING PHOTOELASTIC TENSOR ELEMENTS IN GLASS
(2021-12-13)Glass is an amorphous solid and in a stress-free environment exhibits isotropic optical properties. When such a material is placed under stress the optical properties become anisotropic. Glass can be characterized by its ... -
Photoelastic Tensor Elements of Optical Glasses: Dispersion and Relation to Structure
(2023-04-13)Photoelasticity refers to the change in index of refraction of a material due to applied stress or strain, and in glass, results in birefringence. Understanding and controlling this effect is an important aspect in the ... -
Structure-Property Relations of Mixed-Alkali and Ion-Exchange Silicate Glasses
(2016-06-28)Improvement of the mechanical properties of glass was undertaken by furthering understanding of the fundamental relationships between composition, structure and mechanical response. Glasses which were known to already have ...
