2025-07-14 Evolution of Structure and Properties in Oxyfluorogallate Glasses upon Incorporation of Al3+ Ions doi:10.57760/sciencedb.27828 en Oxyfluorogallate glasses exhibit remarkable mid-infrared transmission properties, making them ideal for various advanced applications, such as environmental monitoring, gas sensing, space communications, and biomedical diagnostics. However, thermal instability, poor moisture resistance, and poor mechanical strength hinder the development and application of oxyfluorogallate glasses. In this research, by progressively replacing Ga2O3 with Al2O3, the optimized glass system exhibits remarkable thermal stability with a glass transition temperature window (ΔT) reaching 205 °C. This significantly improved chemical durability evidenced by normalized elemental leaching rates reduced below 80% of oxyfluorogallate and superior mechanical properties, including a Knoop hardness of 643.4 Kg•N/mm2 and bending strength of 124.5 MPa, which is comparable to the level of quartz glass oxyfluorogallate; mid-infrared; glass modification Wang Zaiyang Tu Yukun Zhang Longfei Hu Linjia Zhang Long Jiang Yiguang Zhao Guofang Fang Yongzheng PUBLIC https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ dataset Science Data Bank
