Crystalline-vitreous interface in two dimensional silica.
The interface between a crystalline and a vitreous phase of a thin metal supported silica film was studied by low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. The locally resolved evolution of Si-Si nearest neighbor distances and characteristic angles was evaluated across the border. Furthermore, we investigated the behavior of the ring size distribution close to the crystalline-vitreous transiti...
متن کاملFast Two-level Systems in Vitreous Silica
A model containing an extra species of tunneling two-level systems, characterized by a lower threshold 0.3 K of the tunneling matrix element, a coupling constant 0.17 eV for interaction with longitudinal sound waves, and two more parameters for the shape of their distribution function, can account for the temperature dependences of fast specific heat, thermal conductivity, sound.absorption and ...
متن کاملModeling vitreous silica bilayers
Theoretical modeling is presented for a freestanding vitreous silica bilayer which has recently been synthesized and characterized experimentally in landmark work. While such two-dimensional continuous random covalent networks should likely occur on energetic grounds, no synthetic pathway had been discovered previously. Here the bilayer is modeled using a computer assembly procedure initiated f...
متن کاملCharacterizing Crystalline-Vitreous Structures: From Atomically Resolved Silica to Macroscopic Bubble Rafts
A two-part experiment using bubble rafts to analyze amorphous structures is presented. In the first part, the distinctions between crystalline and vitreous structures are examined. In the second part, the interface between crystalline and amorphous regions is considered. Bubble rafts are easy to produce and provide excellent analogy to recent research results on the atomic structure of silica g...
متن کاملAnomalous Enthalpy Relaxation in Vitreous Silica
It is a challenge to calorimetrically determine the glass transition temperature (Tg) of vitreous silica. Here, we demonstrate that this challenge mainly arises from the extremely high sensitivity of the Tg to the hydroxyl content, but also from decrease of the Tg with repeating the calorimetric scans. It is known that the liquid fragility (i.e., the speed of the viscous slow-down of a supercoo...
