Crack Growth in Hydrous Soda-Lime Silicate Glass

Numerical Simulation of Soda-Lime Silicate Glass Tempering

The paper deals with the computation of residual and transient stresses in a tempered glass plate. The modelling takes into account the viscoelastic behavior and the structural relaxation of glass. The evolution of stresses with time during the rapid cooling is computed. Simulation results are compared with experimental ones from the literature available. Levels of transient tensile stress in t...

X-ray-assisted formation of gold nanoparticles in soda lime silicate glass: suppressed Ostwald ripening.

The in situ formation of gold nanoparticles in soda lime silicate glass under constant x-ray irradiation is compared with the ex situ formation in preirradiated glasses. The ASAXS measurements confirm that pure Au particles are formed. The comparison shows that the number of particles nucleated under irradiation is about an order of magnitude higher than of those nucleated with preirradiation. ...

Raman Mapping of the Indentation-Induced Densification of a Soda-Lime-Silicate Glass

Effect of ZnO on the Physical Properties and Optical Band Gap of Soda Lime Silicate Glass

This manuscript reports on the physical properties and optical band gap of five samples of soda lime silicate (SLS) glass combined with zinc oxide (ZnO) that were prepared by a melting and quenching process. To understand the role of ZnO in this glass structure, the density, molar volume and optical band gaps were investigated. The density and absorption spectra in the Ultra-Violet-Visible (UV-...

Structure and topology of soda-lime silicate glasses: implications for window glass.

The structural and topological properties of soda-lime silicate glasses of the form (1-2x)SiO2-xNa2O-xCaO are studied from classical molecular dynamics using a Buckingham type potential. Focus is made on three compositions (x = 6%, 12%, and 18%) which are either silica-rich or modifier-rich. We compare the results to available experimental measurements on structural properties and find that the...
