In the vitrification of high-level radioactive liquid waste (HLW), separation sodium-molybdate melts is a problem because it reduces chemical durability vitrified waste. A glass with both high MoO3 solubility and required for safe disposal this study, we investigate effects vanadium oxide on phase molybdenum-rich water resistance resulting by equilibrium experiments test. Phase were performed S...

Light is able to remotely move matter. Among various driving forces, laser-induced metal sphere migration in glass has been reported. The temperature on the laser-illuminated side of the sphere was higher than that on the non-illuminated side. This temperature gradient caused non-uniformity in the interfacial tension between the glass and the melted metal as the tension decreased with increasin...

This study presents microwave absorption of raw materials used in barium borosilicate, Fe-doped alumina phosphate and zinc borate glass. Microwave absorption was investigated for the raw materials SiO2, Na2CO3, BaCO3, BPO4, Al(PO3)3, Mg(PO3)2, Al(OH)3, TiO2. The study shows that SiO2 could be heated directly above 1000 °C within 30 min at 1.5 kW microwave output (MW) power and 0.8 kW MW power i...

An analytical model of electric field assisted diffusion ions into glass is extended to include two indigenous mobile ion species that are initially uniformly distributed within the glass. A quasi-stationary state solution includes effects and applicable when invasive have a lower mobility than presented. It relevant electrical poling soda-lime borosilicate glasses with concentrations (Na + , K...

InlrodJcriun: It is well known that the propertics of glass can be cliangcd by exposure lo lighl. The discoveiy by Hill [l] of thc photosensilivity of silica fibres nt UV wavclcngths and the extension of this method by Meltz [2] to a dircct-writing technique using a holographic setup has had ii major impact on guided wave device development. The UV direct-writc inethod has been used to write gr...
