Abstract
This study investigates the impact of substituting MgO for Li2O in LAS glass ceramics, and successfully producing transparent glass ceramics with a Cristobalite phase. The visible light transmittance at 550 nm is measured at 88.3 %, while the Vickers hardness is recorded at 7.14 GPa. Substituting MgO for Li2O strengthens the glass network, which complicates the process of crystallization. The crystallization mode shifts from bulk to surface crystallization. The substantial thermal expansion mismatch between Cristobalite and the glass matrix results in cracking, thereby limiting the crystallinity of Cristobalite glass ceramics. Furthermore, regarding the samples with surface crystallization, phase separation occurs in the uncrystallized regions. FT-IR analysis indicates that heat treatment promotes a trend toward ordering in the material. The relatively regular interface of surface crystallization led to some crystals exhibiting a directional arrangement. This is the most orderly crystal arrangement observed in the reviewed glass ceramics.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
