Abstract
This investigation concerned the devitrification kinetics (in the temperature range 1100° to 1500°C) of silica glasses doped with aluminum oxide (0.1 and 1.0 mol%), neodymium oxide (0.08 and 0.25 mol%), and with aluminum and neodymium oxides simultaneously, at their mutual molar ratio close to 4. The glasses were obtained by electric melting of quartz under vacuum and by the sol/gel method. On the basis of the obtained results, conclusions have been drawn concerning the mode in which the admixtures become incorporated into the silica glasses as well as the structural differences between the melted and sol/gel glasses.
