Scattering of visible light by glasses undergoing phase separation and homogenization

Liquid–liquid phase separation in sodium borosilicate glass: Ordering phenomena in particle arrangement

“…On the one hand, a mutual spatial arrangement of particles influences physical properties of material. For example, effects of interparticle interference in small-angle scattering of X-rays and neutrons [1,4] and in scattering of visible light (and hence a turbidity of materials) [5][6][7] are immediately determined by PCF. This allows one to use the experimental data on scattering for obtaining information on PCF [5,8,9].…”

On light scattering in fluorozirconate glass-ceramics containing BaCl2 nano-crystals

“…Inhomogeneous structure of glass-ceramics causes appreciable light scattering (turbidity of the material), which may restrict their optical application. The question of light scattering by inhomogeneous glasses has a long history [1] and its discussion continues until now [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

Broadband NIR luminescence of Bi-doped Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics

“…X-ray Excellent transparency required glass-ceramics holding low lightscattering in the process of nucleation and crystallization. A scattering model developed by Andreev and Hopper described interfering fields from the individual particles that produced a large compensating effect [20,21]. Formula of this model is presented as follows:…”
