The morphologies of fractured surfaces and fracture toughness in some As-Se-Sb-S-I glasses

As part of a general physical characterization of amorphous materials in the pseudobinary system (As₂Se₃)_100−x(SbSI)_x type, their indentation fracture toughness was determined. It is a system with the variable ratio of classical amorphous compound As₂Se₃ and the molecule of antimony sulfoiodide, SbSI, which in the monocrystal form is characterized as ferroelectrics. Because of chalcogenides are generally very brittle and under load they crack very easily, these glasses have been studied with the aim of examining the possibility of obtaining some new structures on the basis of the materials with amorphous internal network, the structures that will have a higher quality in respect of mechanical properties. The morphologies of fractured surfaces were investigated by scanning electron microscope.     

γ辐照对掺Er硅酸盐玻璃吸收和发光特性的影响

用传统的高温熔融法熔制了一系列掺Er硅酸盐玻璃, 并测试了这些样品经5 kGy γ 射线辐照前后紫外至近红外的吸收和荧光光谱. 实验结果表明, 辐致暗化效应使得玻璃材料中形成了大量色心, 导致在400 nm附近出现强吸收带, 其尾端延伸至近红外区. 辐照产生的新能带增加了基质与Er³⁺ 特定能级(如²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2及⁴F_9/2等) 之间的能量传递, 从而使辐照后的样品荧光寿命减小, 且在相同激发条件下荧光强度下降. 室温下辐照样品在荧光测试过程中出现了漂白现象.     

Radiation-induced effects in soda-lime silicate glasses of different origin

Abstract

Correlated measurements of optical absorption and thermoluminescence of γ-irradiated soda-lime silicate (SLS) glasses were performed to detect and characterize the induced radiation damage in these materials. Three kinds of hole-type defect centers have been distinguished in glasses which differ with respect to the content of the glass-network modifiers and some multivalent transient metal cations. The main features of the related absorption bands are compared and discussed in terms of the purity and pre-irradiation history of samples.

Nanoscale periodic morphologies on the fracture surface of brittle metallic glasses

Out-of-plane, nanoscale periodic corrugations are observed in the dynamic fracture surface of brittle bulk metallic glasses with fracture toughness approaching that of silica glasses. A model based on the meniscus instability and plastic zone theory is used to explain such dynamic crack instability. The results indicate that the local softening mechanism in the fracture is an essential ingredient for controlling the formation of the unique corrugations, and might provide a new insight into the origin of fracture surface roughening in brittle materials.     

A study of AFM-based scratch process on polycarbonate surface and grating application

We report on the possibility of applying atomic force microscope (AFM) lithography to draw micro/nano-structures on the surface of a polycarbonate (PC) substrate. We also fabricated a grating structure on the PC surface using the scratch method. An AFM silicon tip coated with a diamond layer was utilized as a cutting tool to scratch the surface of the sample. In order to obtain pattern depth deeper than the control method of interaction force, we used a scanner movement method which the sample scanner moves along the Z-axis. A grating of 100 μm × 150 μm was fabricated by the step and repeat method wherein the sample stage is moved in the direction of the XY-axis. The period and the depth of the grating are 500 and 50 nm, respectively. Light of 632.8 nm wavelength was diffracted on the surface of the PC substrate.     

Surface and near-surface structure of silicate glasses

This paper presents analytic results, derived by diffractional low and large angle X-ray scattering methods, currently applied in our laboratory, as well as novel methods of electron emission microscopy and interference-phase optical microscopy for studying the internal structure, and that of surface and near-surface layers of raw and stepwise-etched, composite oxide silicate glasses of the type SiO₂-Na₂O-CaO-MgO. The structural and topographic studies are supplemented with quantitative analysis of chemical composition on a micro-scale and in micro-regions by electron microprobe and microscopic measurements of the temperature characteristics in a series of the above glasses. Moreover, a discussion is given of chemical corrosion, surface strcuture and topography, and the distribution of micro and macro-inhomogeneity regions in surface layers. Structural parameters are obtained which described the surface and internal structure of silicate glasses well adapted to the construction of an approximate aperiodic nodal model. The applications of the latter and the accuracy of its parameters are discussed.

Quantitative Raman spectroscopy: speciation of cesium silicate glasses

The silicate speciation forms an important aspect of the structure of silicate melts, a subject of interest to both the earth‐ and materials science communities. In this study, the Qⁿ speciation of binary cesium silicate glasses was studied by Raman spectroscopy. A method to extract the equilibrium constant from a set of Raman spectra is presented, and the least‐squares optimization algorithm is given (in Supporting Information). Log(K), the equilibrium constant of the speciation reaction, 2Q³ = Q⁴ + Q², equals −2.72 ± 0.11 at the glass transition. This extends the previously established correlation between log(K) and the inverse of the ionic radius of the network modifier to cesium. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Tin in silicate glasses: structure, thermodynamics and kinetics

In this work Mössbauer spectroscopy is used to investigate the oxidation states and structures of tin in silicate glasses. Thermal treatment of the glasses in atmospheres with varying oxygen partial pressure leads to the simultaneous appearance of reduction and diffusion. Experiments with varying treatment time give the opportunity to study diffusion and reduction processes in detail. Comparison of the hyperfine parameters of reference materials with measured parameter provides information about the local surroundings of the tin atoms. An octahedral surrounding for Sn^4?+? is presumed, while Sn^2?+? and three oxygen atoms form a tetrahedral coordination.     

A comparison of ion scattering spectra and molecular dynamics simulations at the surface of silicate glasses

Molecular dynamics simulations are correlated with experimental ion scattering spectra to elucidate the surface structure and composition of fused silica and potassium trisilicate glass. The ion scattering spectra and molecular dynamics simulations both show that the oxygen atoms dominate the surface monolayer of fused silica. The ion scattering spectra of fracture surfaces of potassium trisilicate glass show a large potassium signal with little scattering signal from the oxygen or silicon atoms indicating a predominance of potassium in the surface monolayer. This local enrichment of potassium in the surface monolayer is due to their shielding of the charged silicate tetrahedra at the surface. This is also consistent with the simulations.     

Small-scale fracture toughness of ceramic thin films: the effects of specimen geometry,ion beam notching and high temperature on chromium nitride toughness evaluation

For the implementation of thin ceramic hard coatings into intensive application environments, the fracture toughness is a particularly important material design parameter. Characterisation of the fracture toughness of small-scale specimens has been a topic of great debate, due to size effects, plasticity, residual stress effects and the influence of ion penetration from the sample fabrication process. In this work, several different small-scale fracture toughness geometries (single-beam cantilever, double-beam cantilever and micro-pillar splitting) were compared, fabricated from a thin physical vapour-deposited ceramic film using a focused ion beam source, and then the effect of the gallium-milled notch on mode I toughness quantification investigated. It was found that notching using a focused gallium source influences small-scale toughness measurements and can lead to an overestimation of the fracture toughness values for chromium nitride (CrN) thin films. The effects of gallium ion irradiation were further studied by performing the first small-scale high-temperature toughness measurements within the scanning electron microscope, with the consequence that annealing at high temperatures allows for diffusion of the gallium to grain boundaries promoting embrittlement in small-scale CrN samples. This work highlights the sensitivity of some materials to gallium ion penetration effects, and the profound effect that it can have on fracture toughness evaluation.

Radiation damage produced in amorphous Fe₇₈Si₇B₁₁Cz by thermal neutron irradiation has been studied with an aim to get information about defects and other structural changes occuring in the system. Neutron irradiation results in surface crystallization of the specimen via radiation enhanced diffusion.
