This book will discuss how glass and glass ceramic interact with light, both transiently and permanently. Ways that light permanently alter the properties of glass and glass ceramic like the color, refractive index, and mechanical and chemical behaviors will be included. Each photochromatic phenomenon will be discussed in detail from the physical and chemical origin to the method fabrication and ultimately to their utilization.

Reviews for Photosensitive Glass and Glass-Ceramics

Photosensitive Glass and Glass-Ceramics is a great balance of the underlying physics, chemistry, optics, and glass structure, thoroughly described in an easy-to-read style by an unquestioned authority on the topic. It is a must-read for any one working in photosensitive glass and glass-ceramics. -John Ballato, Clemson University, South Carolina, USA A remarkable book written by an authoritative, highly accomplished, and internationally renowned glass scientist. Comprehensive, informative, and exceptionally well written, it is a must read for all involved in photosensitive glass and glass-ceramic materials. -L. David Pye, New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, USA ...clear and straightforward at several levels; it fills a void for teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level. An important contribution to the history of materials science. -Carlo Pantano, The Pennsylvania State University, USA Written with passion, this book is a masterpiece of science and technology domain. -Eugen Pavel, Storex Technologies, Wilmington, Delaware, USA
