Abstract
The heat capacity, softening temperature, and crystallization temperature o f RbF-BeF2 (10, 15, 18, 22, and 27 mol % RbF) glasses were measured by diff erential scanning calorimetry. The results lend support to the view that Rb F-BeF2 glasses are diphasic. The glasses studied are shown to contain fragm ents of (BeF3)(n)(n-) flluoroberyllate chains and to be close in many aspec ts to KF-BeF2 glasses.
