XRD of glasses which crystallised during processing or characterisation During melting A batch of glass MOF001 (65TeO2-10Na2O-25ZnF2, mol. %) was melted in the fume cupboard, with fluorinating agent (see section 3.4) added to dry the batch further (1 g of (NH4)HF2 to 1 g of batch). However, after melting a 10g batch for 5 hours in a platinum crucible at 800°C, and dropping to 700°C to cast, most of the melt had volatilised, leaving behind around 5g of a white solid deposit in the crucible. Fig. (5.10) shows the XRD trace of this deposit. It can be seen from this trace, that a glass-ceramic has resulted from this treatment. An amorphous ‘halo’ can be seen at around 30° 2θ, and the presence of crystalline material. The closest match to the crystalline peaks was JCPDS card number: 20-1182: sodium zinc fluoride NaZnF3, orthorhombic, space group Pbnm. Table
