Abstract
The glass-forming region of the LiF–Al2O3–B2O3 system and the phase diagram of this region have been studied. Properties of glasses and devitrified glasses, as well as the crystallization products, are investigated. The effect of metastable liquation and the free volume on photochromic properties of glasses and glass–crystalline materials activated with AgCl and Cu2O has been revealed. Photosensitive glass ceramics characterized by the linear thermal expansion coefficient (30–45) × 10–7 K–1 and high transparency in the visible spectral region have been synthesized.
