The present invention provides, in various embodiments, compositions and methods for strengthening glass without heat or chemical processing of the glass itself. The compositions of the present invention are emulsions comprising polymer colloid particles that are functionalized with an organosilicon compound. The polymer colloid particles can fill surface defects in the glass due to their size being smaller than the surface defects, and the functional groups thereon can react with the surface of the glass to anchor the particles in the defects.

An infrared absorbing material fine particle dispersion liquid including infrared absorbing material fine particles and a solvent, the infrared absorbing material fine particles containing fine particles of composite tungsten oxide represented by a general formula MxWOy, the solvent containing water, wherein an absolute value of a zeta potential of the infrared absorbing material fine particle dispersion liquid is 5 mV or more and 100 mV or less.

A method of manufacturing a scintillator material includes providing a substrate made of a quartz glass and having a recess formed therein; filling the recess with a raw material powder obtained by mixing an iodide raw material and SiO.sub.2 fine particles; after filling the recess, disposing a lid on the substrate to cover the recess; and after disposing the lid, heating the substrate, thereby forming a nanocomposite layer in which an iodide phosphor is introduced into a cristobalite structure.

Provided for herein are methods for producing reflective optical elements for the EUV wavelength range which have grating structures or which include structures that can serve as phase shifters. The methods may include the following operations: applying a structurable layer to a substrate, applying a reflective coating to the substrate that has been provided with the structurable layer, and locally irradiating the structurable layer. The structurable layer may be irradiated before or after application of the reflective coating.
