Mechanical properties of copper phosphate glasses

Abstract

CuO_y-ZnO-P₂O₅ and CuO_y-BaO-P₂O₅ glass systems (0.5+ ion in the glasses. It is considered that this is related to the decrease in cross link density with the addition of 2-fold coordinated coppers in glass. In addition, it is found that a lower basicity of CuO_y-ZnO-P₂O₅ glass than that of CuO_y-BaO-P₂O₅ is responsible for the relative stability of Cu⁺ ion in the glass.
