TL;DR: In this article, the structural characteristics of polycrystalline ZnTe films have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and it was observed that the refractive index, n increased upon increasing the film thickness up to 508nm, lying within the experimental error for further increases in film thickness.

TL;DR: An increase in CaO/SiO2 ratio degraded the sinterability of the glass powder compacts, resulting in the formation of akermanite as the major crystalline phase, while an increase in P2O5/CaF2 ratio improved theSintering behavior of theGlass-ceramics, while varying the amount of crystalline phases, i.e. diopside, fluorapatite and wollastonite.

TL;DR: In this paper, Li 2 SiO 3 (which was the main crystalline phase in compositions 1 and 2) was added to fine glass powders of the parent compositions, resulting in the modified compositions 1-20, 1-30, 2-20 and 2-30.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of glasses with varying FA/Di ratio have been synthesized by melt-quenching technique, and the apatite forming ability of glasses was investigated by immersion of the glass powders in simulated body fluid (SBF) for times varying between 1 h-28 days.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of glasses along the diopside-fluorapatite binary system have been prepared with varying diop side/fluoraphatite ratios for their potential applications in bone tissue engineering.
