Structure Dependence of Poisson’s Ratio in Cesium Silicate and Borate Glasses

Composition and temperature dependence of cesium-borate glasses by molecular dynamics.

The structural aspects of xCs2O-(1-x)B2O3 glasses have been investigated by molecular dynamics as functions of Cs2O content (x=0.2, 0.3, and 0.4) and temperature (T=300 and 1250 K). The tetrahedral (BØ4-) and triangular (BØ3,BØ2O-, and BØO2 (2-)) short-range order borate units were found to be the structure-building entities of the simulated glasses [Ø=bridging oxygen (BO) and O-=nonbridging ox...

The glass transition temperature of silicate and borate glasses

The dependence of the glass transition temperature on silicate composition as well as on borate composition is discussed. Some new experimental results on borosilicate glass-enamels are put together with the existing literature data. It is demonstrated that in the glass transition interval the activation energy E(Tg) for viscous flow is related to the glass transition temperature. The activatio...

Dependence of N4 upon alkali modifier in binary borate glasses

In this paper we re-examine the alkali dependence of the fraction of four-coordinated borons (N4) in two series of glasses: alkali borates (0·4M2O.B2O3) and mixed lithium caesium borates (0·4(xLi2O+(1-x)Cs2O). B2O3). High field B MAS-NMR experiments were performed to maximise the accuracy of the present results. We found no evidence for an alkali dependence on N4 in either system. In each case ...

The Structure of Silicate Glasses and Melts: Some Basics

Silicate glasses and melts have been of interest to mineralogists, geochemists and igneous petrologists for many decades. Silicate melts are essential components of igneous processes, participating actively in Earth differentiation, heat transfer and global geodynamics, and geochemical cycles. Melt viscosity can decrease some 20 orders of magnitude below that of corresponding solids, and timesc...
