Research in borate glasses has started as a scientific curiosity and as an aid to explain the
structure of oxide glasses in general. This effort led to a better understanding of the structure …

Zinc bismuth borate glasses with composition 10ZnO–xBi2O3–(90− x) B2O3 (where x is in
mol%, ranging from 25 to 50 in steps of 5) have been prepared using conventional melt …

Bismuth-containing borate glasses, xBi2O3–(1− x) B2O3, were synthesized in the broad
composition range 0.20≤ x≤ 0.80 by melting in Pt crucibles and splat-quenching between …

Glasses having composition of (100− x)(1Bi 2 O 3–1ZnO–1B 2 O 3)-xDy 2 O 3 (where x= 0.1,
0.3, 0.5, 1 and 2 mol%) were prepared by melt quenching method and characterized …

The discovery of new materials has a documented history of propelling human progress for
centuries and more. The behaviour of a material is a function of its composition, structure …

In the present study, quaternary system of the composition (0.45+ x) Bi 2 O 3-(0.25− x) BaO-
0.15 B 2 O 3-0.15 Na 2 O (where 0≤ x≤ 0.2 mol fraction) has been prepared by using melt …

The structures of glasses in the lithium–bismuth orthoborate composition range deviate
significantly from the short‐range order structure of the two crystalline end‐members …

Glasses formed with heavy metal (atomic weight> 100) oxides (HMO) have received
significant attention because of their interesting physical and optical properties. In this …

Single mode, low loss waveguides were fabricated in high index bismuth borate glass by
femtosecond laser direct writing. A specific set of writing parameters leading to waveguides …

Third-order nonlinearity one order of magnitude larger than silica is measured in bismuth-
borate glasses presenting a fast response (< 200 fs)⁠. The results for the sign and …
