This book describes the structure-property-composition
relationships for silicate glasses and melts of industrial and
geological interest. From Antiquity to the 20th century, an
introductory chapter presents this subject in a historical
perspective. Basic concepts are then discussed in three chapters
where attention is paid to the glass transition and its various
consequences on melt and glass properties, to the structural and
physical differences between amorphous and crystalline silicates,
and to the mutual relationships between local order, energetics and
physical properties.
With pure SiO2 as a starting point, compositions of increasing
chemical complexity are successively dealt with in a dozen
chapters. The effects of network-modifying cations on structure and
properties are first exemplified by alkali and alkaline earth
elements. The specific influence of aluminum, iron, titanium, and
phosphorus are then reviewed. With water, volatiles in the system
COHS, noble gases, and halogens, the effects of volatile components
are also described. The last chapter explains how the results
obtained on simpler melts can be applied to chemically complex
systems. In each chapter, physical and chemical properties are
described first and followed by a review of glass and melt
structure. When possible, pressure effects are also
considered.
*From SiO2 to complex silicate compositions, the physical and
chemical properties of melts and glasses of geological and
industrial interest
*Structural characterization of melts and glasses, from ambient to
high pressure and temperature
*From basic concepts to an advanced level, a consistent description
of the structure-property-composition relationships in glasses and
melts
