Thermoradiation modification of nanostructure of potash-alumo-boron glasses with iron oxide additives

This paper presents the results of thermoradiation modification of nanostructure of potash-aluminum-boron glasses with iron oxide additives studied by optical spectroscopy. The differential spectra of the glass samples have jumps at 240, 320 and 370 nm. The physical mechanism of their formation is suggested. The obtained results show the way for the nanostructure modification useful for magneto-optical and dosimetric applications of the glasses. Valence-coordination transition of iron ions induced by irradiation at elevated temperatures can be used as switching effect in quantum computers.
