Abstract
Tellurium oxide-zinc oxide glass batches have been prepared through chemical vapor deposition from tellurium and zinc alkyl compounds in an oxyhydrogen flame onto the lateral surface of rotating cylindrical substrates. The composition of the deposits has been shown to be determined by the relative amounts of the metalorganic precursors in the gas phase. Varying the deposition conditions, we obtained both amorphous and crystalline deposits, with concentrations of metallic impurities below 1 ppmw. Melting the deposits, we prepared high-purity (TeO2)1 − x (ZnO) x (0.15 ≤ x ≤ 0.35) glasses.
