The results show that with the increase of Al2O3 content the bands assigned to [SiO4] nearly disappear. Aluminum replaces silicon in the glass network, which is helpful for the formation of boron-oxygen rings. The increase of the transition temperature Tg and softening temperature Tf of PbO-B2O3-SiO2 glass ceramics leads to the increase of liquid phase precipitation temperature and promotes the structure stability in the glasses, and consequently contributes to the decreasing trend of crystallization. Densification and dielectric constants increase with the increase of Al2O3 content, but the dielectric loss is worsened. By contrast, the 3% （mass fraction） Al2O3-doped glass ceramics sintered at 725℃ have better properties of density p=2.72 g/cm3, dielectric constant Er=6.78, dielectric loss tan8=2.6×10^-3 （measured at 9.8 GHz）, which suggest that the glass ceramics can be applied in multilayer microwave devices requiring low sintering temperatures.展开更多

The results showed that, both the peak heights （at 2=193 nm） of the CD spectra of the samples treated by microwave irradiation and water bath reduced. The reduced rate by microwave irradiation ranged from 140% to 220%, while the reduced rate by water bath ranged from 60% to 140%. The peak of the sample treated by microwave irradiation for 60 min disappeared at λ=193 nm, while the sample showed a wake peak by water bath. The peak position by microwave irradiation emerged a blue shift in the range of 5-8 nm at λ=204 nm and λ=220 nm, while it emerged in the range of 3-5 nm by water bath. With time going on, the microwave irradiation and water bath have prompted the secondary structure of α-helix, β-sheet, β-turn and the mutual transformations of random coil, but the trends were different.展开更多
