The invention provides a Ge-As-Se-CsI
glass ceramic as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: melting and
quenching raw materials to obtain basic glass, then carrying out ultra-fast heating to a
crystallization temperature, carrying out short-time heat preservation, then cooling to a relatively low temperature, and carrying out long-time heat preservation, so that CsI
crystal grains are uniformly separated out in a matrix, and finally obtaining the Ge-As-Se-CsI
glass ceramic. According to the
glass ceramic, Ge-As-Se
chalcogenide glass serves as a base body, CsI crystals are evenly dispersed in the glass base body, the
molar composition of the Ge-As-Se-CsI glass
ceramic is represented by the
chemical formula of (1-x) Ge < 0.22 > As < 0.2 > Se < 0.58-x > CsI, and x ranges from 0.01 to 0.08. Compared with the prior art, the Ge-As-Se-CsI glass
ceramic prepared by the preparation method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that CsI particles are fine and are uniformly distributed, the
hardness of the Ge-As-Se-CsI glass
ceramic can be greatly improved on the basis of ensuring that the Ge-As-Se-CsI glass ceramic has good
infrared permeability, and the application scene of the
chalcogenide glass ceramic is widened.
