Optical and Crystallization Properties of Photostructured Lithium Silicate Glass with Different Contents of Gold Nanoparticles

A study has been performed, in which the crystallization and optical properties of glass of the stoichiometric composition of lithium disilicate 33.5Li2O · 66.5SiO2 mol % has been studied on the same samples of photostructured glass with additives of the photosensitive gold impurity of 0.03 and 0.003 wt % above 100%. It was shown that the same amount of the crystal phase in glass with different amounts of the photosensitive gold impurity can be obtained by varying the X-ray irradiation time. The position of the surface plasmon resonance does not change.
