    摘要: High silica glass is formed by sintering a dried gel. The gel has a pore size distribution such that at most about 5% of the total pore volume is contributed by pores having an effective pore diameter greater than about 0.5 .mu.m, and such that at least 10% of the total pore volume is contributed by pores having an effective pore diameter greater than about 0.02 .mu.m. This pore size distribution permits effective migration of fluid into, and out of, the gel, permits sintering at a lower temperature, and results in increased perfection of the glass. The pore size distribution can be achieved by appropriate comminution, e.g., ball-milling, of intermediate material. A novel process for forming high silica glass is also disclosed. The process comprises forming intermediate material by hydrolysis of one or more metal alkoxides, comminuting the intermediate material to produce colloidal particles, forming a sol by dispersing the particles in liquid, gelling the sol, drying the gel, and sintering the dried gel.

    摘要: A method for forming articles which include silica-containing glass bodies, as well as the resulting articles, are disclosed. In accordance with the method, silica-containing gel particles are fused to form a glass body. In contrast to previous such methods, these particles are formed by mechanically, substantially uniformly subdividing either a substantially cohesive gel body, or an ungelled or partially gelled sol capable of yielding a substantially cohesive gel body, to form substantially uniformly sized, wet gel particles. Significantly, only substantially cohesive gel bodies which are also substantially elastic are useful in the invention, i.e., mechanical subdivision of non-elastic gel bodies results in these bodies undergoing plastic flow to yield non-particulate, pasty masses.

    摘要: Single mode and multimode silica-based optical fibers having a down-doped outer cladding are disclosed. The outer cladding material is derived from a preexisting silica tube that comprises an amount of index-lowering dopant, typically F or B, sufficient to result in an effective refractive index of the material that is at least about 0.001, preferably at least 0.0025, lower than the refractive index of SiO.sub.2. Single mode optical fiber according to the invention typically requires a smaller amount of deposited cladding material than an equivalent prior art fiber, and thus can be produced more economically. Multimode optical fiber according to the invention may have lower core doping or higher NA than equivalent prior art fiber. Down-doped substrate or sleeve tubes advantageously are produced by a gel process.

    摘要: This invention is predicated upon applicants' discovery that conventional techniques for minimizing metal loss from sintered ceramic materials are not adequate in the fabrication of small ceramic components such as multilayer monolithic magnetic devices wherein a magnetic core is substantially surrounded by an insulating housing. Applicants have determined that this metal loss problem can be solved by providing the component with a housing layer having an appropriate concentration of metal. Specifically, if the insulating housing material around the magnetic core has, during the high temperature firing, the same partial pressure of metal as the magnetic core material, there is no net loss of metal from the core. In a preferred embodiment, loss of zinc from a MnZn ferrite core is compensated by providing a housing of NiZn ferrite or zinc aluminate with appropriate Zn concentrations. Similar considerations apply to other ceramic components.

    摘要翻译: 本发明基于申请人的发现,用于最小化烧结陶瓷材料的金属损耗的常规技术在制造小型陶瓷部件如多层单片磁性器件中是不够的,其中磁芯基本上被绝缘壳体包围。 申请人已经确定,通过为组件提供具有适当浓度金属的容纳层,可以解决该金属损失问题。 具体来说,如果磁芯周围的绝缘壳体材料在高温烧成时具有与磁心材料相同的金属分压,则不存在来自芯的金属的净损耗。 在优选的实施方案中,通过提供具有合适的Zn浓度的NiZn铁氧体或铝酸锌的壳体来补偿来自MnZn铁氧体磁心的锌的损失。 类似的考虑也适用于其他陶瓷组件。
