Complex evaluation of ion dyeing of glass using compounds of transition metals

The data on ionic coloration of glasses are analyzed from the standpoint of ligand field theory. The available information on glass staining with transition metal compounds has been supplemented. Data on the structure of glass-forming melts and the conditions for the formation of coloring complexes are presented. A possible mechanism of the appearance of amber staining of glasses is considered. Tab. 1, ill. 4, bibliography: 16 titles.
