We have investigated the structural modifications that occur concomitantly with the generation of optical anisotropy in the binary glass with nominal starting composition 0.51(CaO)0.49(P2O5) as a result of hot-extrusion processes.

Abstract
We have investigated the structural modifications that occur concomitantly with the generation of optical anisotropy in the binary glass with nominal starting composition 0.51(CaO)0.49(P2O5) as a result of hot-extrusion processes. Micro-Raman and X-ray-fluorescence micro-analysis have been used to map the structure and composition along the directions parallel and orthogonal to the extrusion axis, with respect to which we have detected birefringence and refractive index modifications up to 10-3. The results show an annular region, midway between the axis and the outer side, in which Ca is slightly depleted and the phosphate chains are shortened and packed through crosslinking sites in anisotropic arrangement. © 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.
