Effect of Cooling Rate on the Structure of Sodium Borate Glasses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sodium borate glasses with two different composit ions have been prepared using cooling rates in the range 7 • 10" C / s 2 • 10 °C/s. Structural characterization has been carried out by X-ray diffraction, and glass transition temperatures have been measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The samples exhibit slightly different density values and glass transition temperatures. However, radial distribution functions appear extremely similar and the sodium coordination shell does not change in going from fast to slowly quenched glasses, showing that the short and medium range order is not affected by thermal treatment.

متن کاملInfluence of Cooling Rate on Cracking and Plastic Deformation during Impact and Indentation of Borosilicate Glasses
The influence of a changing glass topology on local mechanical properties was studied in a multitechnique nanomechanical approach. The glass response against sharp contacts can result in structural densification, plastic flow, or crack initiation. By using instrumented indentation testing, the mechanical response was studied in different strain rate regimes for a sodium borosilicate glass (NBS)...

In this work, we report permanent reduction of Eu to Eu in sodium borate glasses by irradiation of near-infrared femtosecond laser. Glass composition of sodium borate was 85B2O3–15Na2O. The glasses were doped with 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5mol% Eu2O3. Absorption and fluorescence dynamics were studied to investigate valence state change of europium ions and the energy transfer between Eu and Eu ions. As...
