Abstract:
Fluoride glasses in the binary system ZrF4-BaF2 were prepared via mechanochemical treatment. The glass-forming region of the ZrF4-BaF2 system obtained using the mechanochemical method was wider than that obtained using the conventional melt-quenching method. The glass-ceramic 60ZrF4·40BaF2 (mol%) sample was obtained by heat treatment and shows a higher conductivity of 1.2 × 10-6 S cm-1 at 200 °C than the pristine glass. This study revealed that mechanochemical treatment was effective for the synthesis of fluoride glasses.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
