The phase separation mechanism of CaO–B 2 O 3 –P 2 O 5 in an electric field

The effects of an electric field on phase separation in CBP (CaOB 2 O 3 P 2 O 5 ) have been studied. It was discovered that an electric field can inhibit the process of phase separation in CBP glasses. If the electric field strength is increased, the inhibiting effect will increase, too. The mechanism of phase separation in an electric field has been discussed in light of the ir spectrum of CBP glasses.
