Abstract Scope |
In this work, we examine the thermal characteristics of different glass samples that were acquired from the previous work of Dr. Schwarz using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). The samples studied were oxide-based glasses consisting of the ratio ZnO-B2O3–Bi2O3 (ZBB) doped with Li (PSU-5-B1) and As (PSU-6-B1). These samples were studied in both their bulk and powdered forms to examine any possible differences in their thermal properties based on a bulk or powder sample. The powdered versions of both samples were also annealed to examine if there were shifts in the peaks afterwards compared to the original data. The data collected showed notable differences and peak shifts between bulk and powder samples, with annealed samples showing other unique peak shifts of their own. |
