Abstract

Abstract Young's and shear moduli were analyzed in Eu 2+ -doped fluorozirconate glasses, which were additionally doped with chlorine ions. Upon annealing between 240 °C and 290 °C, barium chloride nanocrystals were formed in the glass. Determination of the Vickers hardness, H , leads to a slight trend of decreasing hardness for higher annealing temperatures, whereas subsequent annealing has almost no effect on the fracture toughness K Ic .
