    Notes: [Auszug] Optical fibres doped with lanthanide or transition-metal elements can serve as in-line lasers and amplifiers for fibre-optic telecommunications systems. In general, most such fibre lasers use conventional silica-glass fibres doped with erbium or neodymium. But silicon dioxide absorbs strongly ...

    Synthesis and Optical Properties of Rare-Earth–Aluminum Oxide Glasses (2002)

    Notes: Single-phase glasses containing 37.5 mol% Y2O3, 7 mol% La2O3, and 1 mol% Pr, Ho, Nd, Er, Sm, Tm, Eu, or Yb oxide substituted for part of the Y2O3 were synthesized by containerless melting. The spectral transmission and absorption cross sections of the glasses were determined at wavelengths from 360 to 3300 nm. The electronic transitions were broadened compared with results obtained in a crystalline yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) host. The infrared transmission of the host glass extended to 6000 nm. The optical and physicochemical properties of these glasses are well suited for optical device applications.

    Levitation apparatus for structural studies of high temperature liquids using synchrotron radiation (1997)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Review of Scientific Instruments 68 (1997), S. 3512-3518

    Notes: A new levitation apparatus coupled to a synchrotron-derived x-ray source has been developed to study the structure of liquids at temperatures up to 3000 K. The levitation apparatus employs conical nozzle levitation using aerodynamic forces to stably position solid and liquid specimens at high temperatures. A 270 W CO2 laser was used to heat the specimens to desired temperatures. Two optical pyrometers were used to record the specimen temperature, heating curves, and cooling curves. Three video cameras and a video recorder were employed to obtain and record specimen views in all three dimensions. The levitation assembly was supported on a three-axis translation stage to facilitate precise positioning of the specimen in the synchrotron radiation beam. The levitation system was enclosed in a vacuum chamber with Be windows, connections for vacuum and gas flow, ports for pyrometry, video, and pressure measurements. The vacuum system included automatic pressure control and multi-channel gas flow control. A phosphor screen coupled to a high-resolution video microscope provided images of the x-ray beam and specimen shadow which were used to establish the specimen position. The levitation apparatus was integrated with x-ray diffractometers located at X-6B and X-25 beamlines at the National Synchrotron Light Source. X-ray structural measurements have been obtained on a number of materials including Al2O 3, Ni, Si, Ge, and other metallic and ceramic materials in the liquid state. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Aero-acoustic levitation: A method for containerless liquid-phase processing at high temperatures (1994)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Review of Scientific Instruments 65 (1994), S. 456-465

    Notes: A method for containerless liquid-phase processing was developed which has practical application in process and property research on virtually any material which is involatile at the melting point. It combines aerodynamic and acoustic forces to support and position the levitated material. The design provides forced convection control of the thermal boundary in the gas surrounding beam-heated specimens, which stabilizes the acoustic forces and allows acoustic positioning necessary to stabilize the aerodynamic levitation forces on molten materials. Beam heating and melting at very high temperatures was achieved. Experiments were conducted on specimens with diameters in the range 0.25–0.4 cm, of density up to 9 g/cm3, at temperatures up to 2700 K, and in oxygen, air, or argon atmospheres. Unique liquid-phase processing results included deep undercooling of aluminum oxide, glass formation at exceptionally small cooling rates, complete melting and undercooling of YBa2Cu3Ox superconductor materials, direct formation of the YBa2Cu3Ox from the liquid phase, and the vaporization of volatile constituents from a low-liquefaction point glass to form a refractory, high melting material. The application of rapid containerless batch processing operations to materials synthesis is discussed.

    Glass Formation and Polyamorphism in Rare-Earth Oxide–Aluminum Oxide Compositions (2000)

    Notes: We report formation of single- and two-phase glasses from rare-earth oxide–alumina materials. Liquids with the Y3Al5O12 and Er3Al5O12 compositions underwent a liquid–liquid phase transition which resulted in glasses with a cloudy appearance due to spheroids of one glass in a matrix of a second glass. The two glasses were isocompositional within the limits of experimental error. Clear, brilliant, single-phase glasses were obtained from La3Al5O12, ErLaYAl5O12, and compositions containing ≥5 mol% La2O3 substituted for the other rare-earth oxides. Formation of two glasses is attributed to nucleation and growth of the second liquid at a temperature below the equilibrium liquid–liquid transition temperature. Addition of lanthanum depresses the phase transition temperature below the glass transition temperature and the liquid–liquid phase transition is not observed. The results are discussed in the context of first-order liquid–liquid phase transitions (polyamorphism) and formation of single-phase glass from liquids that contain a high proportion of 4-coordinate aluminum ions.
