“…Wide band gap semiconductor materials have received extensive research attention due to their high-temperature structural stability and tunability in electronic and mechanical characteristics. − Among the wide band gap semiconductors, glasslike materials possessing a band gap ( E g ≥ 2.5 eV) have become a fascinating material both experimentally and theoretically due to their unique properties such as high mechanical and thermodynamical stabilities, low thermal conductivity, abundant availability in nature, and so on. − Flexibility in fabrication and reliability of the glass materials have made them promising candidates for technological and industrial uses, particularly in the field of battery and storage systems, fireproof fabrics, fiber optics, electronic device preparation, bioactive glass, substrates for solar cells, etc. − It is well-known that the majority of the glasses are silica (SiO 2 ) based material. − Despite the fact that silicate glasses are the most commonly utilized among different glass types, they have some major drawbacks including their brittleness and impact resistance, property losses at higher temperatures, etc. Therefore, in order to avoid such problems and to use them for a wide range of temperatures, a replacement of silicate glass is necessary.…”
