Structure and properties of tungsten oxide - based glasses: insides from concurrent neutron diffraction and Compton scattering.

Abstract: Tungsten oxide containing glasses belong to a group of interesting technological materials because of the specific thermal, mechanical and optical properties obtained by insertion of tungsten atoms inside the glass network. This proposal is devoted to the study of the formulation of W-RE (RE= Nd2O3, La2O3) glasses, and of the effect of WO3 on their structure and properties. The structure of WO3-based glasses and especially the coordination state of tungsten atoms is not well understood, but WO3 is an appropriate compound for the solving of general fundamental structural problems concerning the amorphous state and as well as for the preparation of new type of oxide glasses for technology.We hope to shed more light onto structure-property relation of W-RE glasses by performing neutron transmission, diffraction, mass-resolved Compton scattering, and Gamma-Dopplerimetry for La and Nd.
