E. Kashchieva et al., Liquid phase separation in the systems TeO2-B2O3-M2O3 (M2O3 = Al2O3, Ga2O3, Sc2O3, La2O3, Bi2O3), CERAM-SILIK, 45(3), 2001, pp. 111-114
Liquid phase separation was studied in three component systems TeO2-B2O3-M2
O3, where M2O3 = Al2O3, Ga2O3, Sc2O3, La2O3 and Bi2O3. The boundaries betwe
en one- and two-phase glasses were determined. Near these boundaries differ
ent cases of microheterogeneous structure as a result of metastable immisci
bility were established by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). IR data
analysis indicated that the existence of homogeneous glasses is related wit
h the simultaneous participation of BO3- and BO4-groups in the glassy netwo
rk.
