New Cesium-Containing Quartzoid Glasses.

Information about new cesium-containing quartzoid glasses (QGs) obtained as a result of the heat treatment of high-silica porous glasses (PGs) impregnated with aqueous solutions of CsNO3 is presented. Quartzoid glasses have been studied by SEM, X-ray diffraction, flame photometry, and energy-dispersive X‑ray spectroscopy. It has been established that the total content of cesium in the synthesized QGs increases with an increase in the concentration of the impregnating solution of cesium nitrate and an increase in the impregnation time of PGs for the selected synthesis conditions.
