Halogen-containing chalcogenide glasses: Synthesis and properties

Resumo

Methods for the synthesis of chalcogenide glasses (CGs) containing active and volatile components, in particular, bromine have been developed. The density, volume expansivity, microhardness, refraction index, and magnetic susceptibility of these glasses have been studied. Using the EPR method, the concentration of the intrinsic paramagnetic centers in bromide-modified CGs has been determined.
