The studies of nanoparticles formed in silicate glasses doped by cerium and titanium oxides by means of small angle neutron scattering

Abstract

The structure aspect of Ti-Ce-O nanoparticles, which is forming in silicate glasses doped by TiO2 and CeO2 oxides have been studied by means of a small angle neutron scattering. It was found, the complex oxide nanoparticles forms in these glasses in sizes range 30-38 nm and its average sizes depends on initial oxides concentration ratio. The correlation between nanoparticles structure features and silica glasses optical properties are discussed. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
