Electrical permittivities and subglassy relaxations in sulphate glasses
The dielectric behaviour of K2SO4-ZnSO4 glasses have been investigated. These glasses exhibit subglassy relaxations close to glass transition temperature. The relative dielectric permittivities exhibit sharp rise near
T g which may be due to loosening of glass constituents leading to ionic dipolar or electrode polarisation contributions. -

The phenomenon of glass transition
Principal features of glass transition phenomenon are summarised. Various theoretical approaches such as free volume, entropy, energy surface, etc., have been briefly discussed.

Volume 2 Issue 5 December 1980 pp 357-380
Sulphate glasses are typical ionic glasses in the sense they are constituted of discrete anions. In this review various physical properties of K2SO4, Na2SO4 and ZnSO4 glasses have been reported. A model of random close packing of ions has been suggested and used to interpret several properties including the origin of mixed alkali effect.

Densities, microhardnesses and electron microscopic studies of As-Se glasses
R Mohan T S Panchapagesan K J Rao
Densities and microhardnesses of As-Se glasses have been measured over a wide range of composition. Anomalous variations of densities and microhardnesses have been noted. It has been found possible to explain the variation on the basis of chemical ordering in these glasses. Scanning electron microscopy has been used to investigate the nature of etching in various compositions. The chemical stabilities of these glasses towards etchants also seem to support chemical ordering in them.

X-ray spectroscopy and local structures in glasses
X-ray spectroscopy which is a combination of two techniques, namely x-ray absorption near edge structure (
xanes ) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS ) analyses, is a unique technique for the study of local structures in glasses. Availability of synchrotron radiation sources has made the technique quite attractive and useful because the photon flux from synchrotrons is very intense and polarized. In this article, a brief summary ofxanes andEXAFS techniques is given along with a few applications to the study of local structures in glasses. -

The role of additives in a complex lithium silicate glass-ceramic
R N Das B K Chandrasekhar K J Rao
Several glass-ceramic compositions based on lithium silicates have been examined using thermal expansivity, X-ray diffraction, electrical conductivity, electron microscopy and solid state NMR studies. Role of P2O5 in nucleation and of Al2O3 in smoothening expansion behaviour have been particularly highlighted. Magic angle spinning NMR has been used to ascertain presence of Al in tetrahedral positions in the glassy phase.

EXAFS and MAS NMR studies of sodium molybdophosphate and sodium tungstophosphate glasses
S Muthupari G U Kulkarni K J Rao
The local order around molybdenum and tungsten atoms in various sodium molybdophosphate and sodium tungstophosphate glasses has been investigated using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). Both molybdenum and tungsten atoms are present in six-coordinated environment in these glasses. Magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) of31P suggests that metaphosphate or neutral [POO3/2] groups are present in these glasses.

Volume 18 Issue 3 June 1995 pp 301-307 Rapid Communication
B Vaidhyanathan S Asokan K J Rao
Bulk AgI based fast ion conducting (FIC) glasses have been prepared by a novel microwave technique. Electrical switching characteristics of these glasses have been investigated for the first time. It has been found that AgI based FIC glasses exhibit a current-controlled high speed memory electrical switching behaviour. SEM, EDAX and ESR investigations have been performed on the virgin and switched sampies to understand the nature of the conducting state. A chemical model is proposed to explain the switching behaviour of these glasses, which is consistent with the observed results.

Use of microwaves for the synthesis and processing of materials
An overview of the synthesis of materials under microwave irradiation has been presented based on the work performed recently. A variety of reactions such as direct combination, carbothermal reduction, carbidation and nitridation have been described. Examples of microwave preparation of glasses are also presented. Great advantages of fast, clean and reduced reaction temperature of microwave methods are emphasized. The example of ZrO2-CeO2 ceramics has been used to show the extraordinarily fast and effective sintering which occurs in microwave irradiation.

Computer simulation studies of Ar clusters
Results of the solid-liquid transition of Ar13 cluster in a spherically symmetric external potential have been presented. The transition temperature is observed to show an elevation with pressure. The broadening of the heat capacity peaks indicate the transition becoming more diffused with pressure. The icosahedral structure of the cluster remains unaltered under pressure. Ar55 cluster has also been studied by similar approach. A possible connection between glass transition phenomenon and melting of clusters under pressure has been examined.
