Doping of glass with lithium ion.
Doping of glass with lithium ion can be accomplished by exposing the glass to a solution of organic solvent containing a soluble lithium ion salt, such as LiBr and a small amount of water. Under such conditions, the activity of solvated Li+ is very high causing it to partition into the hydrated glass surface. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy have been used to monitor the partitioning between glass and organic phase, respectively.
