Optical and structural characteristics of phase separated soda lime silicate glasses doped with monovalent copper have been studied for samples exchanged in molten copper chloride and afterwards thermally treated in a gaseous hydrogen atmosphere. The created colloidal particles are of different size, and their diameter increases with the penetration depth of the copper ions, which in turn depends on the chemical and thermal treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
