Bubble-Induced Nucleation and Crystal Growth in Glass

Evidence that bubbles can cause annular nucleation and subsequent crystal growth on the surface of Bao-Al₂O₃-TiO₂-SiO₂, glasses is presented. The crystalline rings were identified as hexacelsian, BaAl₂Si₂O₈ (the hexagonal or high-temperature polymorph of celsian).

Surface Crystal Formation During Acid Corrosion of Phosphate-Doped Lead Silicate Glass

The effect of small P₂O₅ additions on the acid corrosion behavior of lead silicate glass was studied at 22°C. Crystals of penta-lead phosphosilicate, a phase heretofore synthesized only by high-temperature melt techniques, formed on the surface of the phosphate-doped glass during the corrosion process. No crystals were observed to form on the pure lead silicate glass. Crystallization appears to result from the controlled release of phosphorus and lead at the glass surface and/or from the reactive catalytic properties of a silica gel surface film. Apparent lead diffusion rates into the acid solution for the phosphate-doped lead silicate glass are much less (by a factor of 11,3) than for the pure lead silicate glass. Application of these findings is suggested in two areas: formulation of low cation-release glass and glaze compositions and the synthesis of high-temperature phases in aqueous solution at ambient temperatures.     

Nucleation and Crystallization of a Lithium Aluminosilicate Glass

An aluminosilicate glass of composition 61SiO₂6Al₂O₃10MgO6ZnO·12Li₂O·5TiO₂ (mol%) has been prepared by a melting process and investigated as far as crystallization is concerned. Glass-ceramic is easily obtained because glass shows a high tendency to crystallize starting from 700°C. The crystalline phases evolve with temperature, showing the aluminosilicates to be the main phase up to 1050°C, followed by metasilicates and silicates, some of which have lower melting points. The titanates of Mg and Zn develop from the phase-separated glass, soon after T _g, and grow to form nucleation centers for the other crystalline phases. The evolution from phase-separated glass to glass-ceramic has been followed by many thermal, diffractometric, spectroscopic, and microscopic techniques.

Further Studies of the Crystallization of a Lithium Silicate Glass

Rates of crystallization of Li₂O · 2SiO₂, from an Li₂O · 4SiO₂ glass as a function of platinum concentration at 600° and 650° C were determined. At both temperatures a maximum rate was obtained in the region of 0.005% Pt. Calculations of the activation energies for the crystallization process showed that 0.005%, Pt lowered it to less than half its original value of 120 kcal per mole. Electron microscopy of this glass quenched from 1450OC revealed a granular structure 250 A in size which was believed to be due to lithium-rich clusters in the glass, svpporting the concepts of other investigators. In glasses containing 0.025%, an additional phase identified as silica O was found. Explanations for the effectiveness of platinum as a nucleating agent in this glass are offered.

Nanoscale Phase Separation in Lithium Niobium Silicate Glass by Femtosecond Laser Irradiation

Understanding the phase transformation in glass and the morphology of related nanostructure after femtosecond laser irradiation is of great importance for fabricating functional optics, in which glass crystallization is involved to obtain nonlinear optical properties. We report on the crystallization inside lithium niobium silicate glass induced by fs laser irradiation. Energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy coupled to scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM/EDS) and transmission electron microscopy confirm a nanoscale phase separation whereby LiNbO₃ crystals are embedded in lamella‐shaped frames of amorphous SiO₂. The obtained nanostructure may have applications in fabricating second‐order nonlinear optical devices.     

Effect of Heat Treatment on the Composition of Surface Layers in Lithium Silicate Glass Exposed to Acid and Salt Solutions

The concentration distribution of lithium ions in the surface layers of the 27Li₂O–73SiO₂ (mol %) glass samples subjected and unsubjected to heat treatment under different conditions after exposure to 0.1 M HCl + y M LiCl (y = 0, 1.0, 5.0, and 10) solutions is studied by the HF-sectioning technique. It is found that the specific (molded) layer formed on the glass surface upon pouring of a glass melt into a cooled mold affects the leaching processes in both the initial and phase-separated glasses. In the absence of the molded layer, the leaching rate of the initial glass in the acid is lower than that of the phase-separated glass and higher than that of the crystallized glass. The leaching rate of the phase-separated and crystallized samples in the acid with an salt additive is higher than that of the initial salt. Chlorine ions in the acid solution bring about a weakening of the silicon–oxygen network. The profiles of the dissolution rate of glass in a 1% HF solution correlate with the concentration profiles of lithium.

Influence of Dopants on Nucleation and Growth of High-Quartz Solid Solution in Lithium Aluminosilicate Glass

The kinetic parameters of nucleation and crystal growth of high-quartz solid solution in multicomponent lithium aluminosilicate glasses doped with various transition-metalions were studied by nonisothermal DTA. The crystallization of glasses nucleated at different temperatures was carried out, and plots of the DTA peak versus the nucleation temperatures were used to determine the maximum nucleation rate temperature. Peak temperature data of nucleated samples at varying heating rates (5–20 K/min) were used to determine the activation energy for crystallization via the JMA equation. The temperature of maximum nucleation rate depends greatly on the doped transition- metal ions present. The activation energy for crystallization obtained for undoped glass or glasses doped with Fe₂O₃ is of the same order as that already published, and the Avrami exponent is consistent with predominantly three-dimensional crystal growth. The much higher activation energy values for glasses doped with CoO could be a consequence of two crystallization processes proceeding simultaneously.     

Nucleation in Lithium Disilicate Glass: A Test of Classical Theory by Quantitative Modeling

Published data on the kinetics of crystal nucleation in lithium disilicate glass are analyzed using a numerical simulation based on classical nucleation theory. With a reasonable set of materials parameters, a quantitative fit is possible to all measured data, including those showing transient behavior in single-stage or multistage anneals. The fitting constitutes a comprehensive test of classical nucleation theory, which, even in the simple form used here, is found to be capable of quantitative prediction. The numerical simulation will be of use in developing heat treatments for glassceramics.

Determining the Nucleation Rate Curve for Lithium Disilicate Glass by Differential Thermal Analysis

The crystallization of lithium disilicate (Li₂O·2SiO₂) glass nucleated at various temperatures was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA). A plot of the DTA crystallization peak height versus nucleation temperature closely resembles the classical nucleation rate curve for lithium disilicate glass whose maximum is at 453°C. The glass becomes saturated with internal nuclei when heated at 453°C for 10 h. The DTA technique is a rapid, alternative method for determining the temperature for maximum nucleation. The activation energy for crystallization, E , and the heat of crystallization, H , are independent of the concentration of nuclei and are 249±10 and 67±3 kJ/mol, respectively. The Avrami exponent, n , depends strongly on the concentration of nuclei in the glass.     

Interdiffusion and Phase-Boundary Reaction Between Silicate Glass Surface and Aqueous CsCl Solution

Technical silicate glass samples with fresh fracture surfaces or HF-etched surfaces were treated in aqueous CsCl at 90°C for 10 to 85 min. Reaction profiles were determined quantitatively using a SIMS technique. The Cs₂O concentration at the glass surface increased with increasing time, followed by penetration of Cs⁺ ions into the glass. The profiles can be described assuming a model which contains both a surface phase-boundary process and an interdiffusion process in the glass for which D=5.10⁻¹⁷ cm² s⁻¹.

Crystal Nucleation in Soda–Lime–Silica Glass at Temperatures below the Glass Transition Temperature

The effect of crystal nuclei formed during the production of glass on the kinetics of nucleation of crystals in it at temperatures below the glass transition temperature is studied. A glass composition of 22.4Na2O ⋅ 28.0CaO ⋅ 49.6SiO2 (mol %) is studied (glass transition temperature 540°C). Using the development method, the dependence of the number of nucleated crystals on the heat treatment time is determined at a temperature of 500°C. The nuclei of crystals formed during the production of glass lead to an unusual, in the form of a step, initial section of the curve N(t). The rate of stationary nucleation of crystals with a long time of nucleation heat treatment exceeding the induction period of crystal nucleation is determined. The reasons for the unusual initial nature of the dependence N(t) are discussed. The data obtained make it possible to expand the temperature dependences of the stationary rate and the induction period of crystal nucleation for the given glass toward low temperatures.
