Bismuth trioxide-tellurium dioxide glasses have improved infrared transmission characteristics.
Bismuth oxide and iron oxide equimolar mixtures solid state reactions, determining rates from integrated X ray diffraction and activation energies
Transmission measurement of neutrons by filter materials for low energy neutrons is important for the study of structure and dynamics of condensed matter. Since only thermal neutrons are useful for such experiments, filter materials that transmit thermal neutrons while attenuating fast neutrons and gamma rays are of considerable interest.
Electrical and infrared properties of glass in bismuth oxide-tellurium oxide system
Electrical and optical properties of glasses in bismuth trioxide-tellurium dioxide system
Technique of improved ceramic-oxide crystal growth utilizes high viscosity solutions (glass or fused solvent). Compositions are selected on basis of technical importance, gravity sensitive properties, and apparent compatibility. Seeded fused-solvent technique uses bismuth germanate, lithium niobate or lead germanate.
The ignition temperature of ten common non-toxic metals has been determined experimentally in an oxygen environment. In this investigation a induction furnace facility that emphasized the preignition surface.oxidation effects upon the ignition temperature was used. The bulk ignition temperatures of barium, bismuth, calcium, iron, lead, magnesium, molybdenum, strontium, tin, and zinc were found and compared to the previous results of Grosse and Conway. The differences in the results are attributed to how the heating cycle is carried out and how the cycle affects the surface oxide coat.
