Dear researchers, for studying glass materials, what characterizations are suggestible, what properties a glass possess?
I know only transparency, what characterizations are used to study it, any other it has, please suggest me.
For rare earth doped glasses what properties are unique when compared to non-doped glasses
About glass transition, which has been thought as somehow resembling a second order phase transition in terms of the Ehrenfest classification, even if this analogy is based at idealized circumstances that can not be realized in practice; cf.:
Article Aspects of the non-crystalline state
Start your study from glass transition temperature. XRD FTIR and Raman spectroscopy are beneficial for analyzing structure and various structural units. Calculate the density and other physical parameters. Record UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra and calculate optical parameters from absorption spectra. You can also study photoluminescence properties. You can also calculate mechanical properties. Follow literature. I have studied the physical, structural, optical, and luminescence properties of rare earth-doped glasses.
