To evaluate structural modifications and light scattering in silicate glass networks caused by copper nanocluster precipitation across varying copper oxidation states.
Prepared alkali borosilicate glasses containing copper in Cu2+, Cu+, and Cu0 states, including dichroic variants doped with 0.2 wt% Cu and 0.4 wt% Eu.
Conducted multi-wavelength Raman spectroscopy using blue (488 nm), green (514.5 and 532 nm), and red (647.1 nm) laser excitations to examine glass polymerization and Rayleigh scattering.
Raman spectra showed a less-polymerized silicate network surrounding Cu0 nanocrystals compared to Cu2+ or Cu+ matrices, with the index of polymerization shifting from ~2 to ~1.
Strong Rayleigh scattering occurred under blue excitation across all copper-bearing glasses and under red excitation specifically within Cu0-containing ruby glasses.
