Among the most important adjustable compositional variables in controlling glass and glass
melt properties were the relative proportions of network modifiers with varying cation field …

We report, to our knowledge, the first polarization-resolved measurement of the frequency
dependence of both the electronic and the electrostrictive contributions to the dc Kerr …

Low-alkali borosilicate glasses are widely used in electronic packaging applications due to
their low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss and excellent matching of thermal expansion …

Abstract Compositions of 55SiO 2–10K 2 O–(35–x) CaO–x MgO are prepared by melt and
quench technique. Thermal parameters of the as-prepared glasses are studied using the …

RO-Al 2 O 3-B 2 O 3-SiO 2 (R= Ca, Mg) glasses containing different concentrations of TiO 2
(ranging from 0 to 9 mol.%) were prepared by conventional melting method. When TiO 2 …

Abstract Glasses with compositions xMgO-(20− x) CaO-10Al 2 O 3-20B 2 O 3-50SiO 2 (x= 0,
5, 10, 15 and 20 mol%) were prepared by conventional melting method. X-ray photoelectron …

This paper describes a simple instrument for measuring very small electric field-induced
strains. A single-beam interferometer with the capability of resolving 10− 4 Å or better in the …

A simple dynamic instrument for measuring very small stress dependence of capacitance is
presented in this article. We describe the design and development of a dynamic …

Certain ferroelectric materials possess dual electrostrictive and piezoelectric characteristics,
depending on their specific Curie temperatures. The nonlinear electro-mechanical effect of …
