Tellurite Glasses Handbook

Focusing on thermal, elastic, acoustic, electrical, and optical properties, this second edition incorporates the latest scientific data and up-to-date applications of tellurite glass. It emphasizes the physics and technology of twenty-first century processing, fabrication, and behavior of tellurite glass and glass-ceramic materials. This edition includes new material on nanocomposites, three-dimensional structural models, and novel glass-forming systems. It also presents innovative ways to combine all physical properties simultaneously, creating new points for research. Some of the correlations and constants are described for the first time in book form.
