Glass – An Introduction
What is a glass?
Glass - hard, brittle solid material that is
normally lustrous and transparent in
appearance and shows great durability
under exposure to the natural elements.
The latin term glesum, probably originated from
a Germanic word for a transparent,
lustrous substance.
The term glass developed in the late Roman
Empire.
Natural heat-producing processes like volcanoes
and lightning strikes are responsible for
creating various forms of natural glass.
Obsidian - super-heated sand or rock
that rapidly cooled.
Moldavite formed by meteorite
impact (Besednice, Bohemia)

Glass Definition
♦ Glass is an inorganic product of
fusion that has cooled to a rigid
condition without crystallization
(American Society for Testing Materials ,1945)
True for most commercial materials (e.g.,
soda-lime-silica) but ignores organic, metallic,
H-bonded materials, ignores alternate
processing routes (sol gel, CVD, electron or
neutron -bombardment, etc.)
♦ Glass is an X-ray amorphous
material which exhibits a glass
transition. (Wong and Angell, 1976)
Not all amorphous solids are glasses; wood,
cement, a-Si, thin film oxides, etc. are
amorphous but do not exhibit the glass
transition.
♦Glass is an undercooled liquid."
Problems: glasses have 'solid'
properties (e.g., elastic material)
No flow at room temperature
♦ Glass as any isotropic material,
whether inorganic or organic,
which lacks three dimensional
atomic periodicity and has a
viscosity greater than about 1014
poise (Mackenzie, 1960)

Conclusion
Zachariasen’s model
According to Zachariasen, in order for a
given oxide AmOn to form a glassy
solid, it must meet the following
criteria:
(1) the oxygen should be linked to no
more than two atoms of A,
(2) the coordination number of the
oxygen about A should be small, on
the order of 3 or 4,
(3) the cation polyhedra must share
corners only, and
(4) at least three corners must be
shared.
In 1932, physicist W.H. Zachariasen
defined glass is an extended, three-
dimensional network of atoms
that form a solid which lacks the
long-range periodicity (or
repeated, orderly arrangement)
typical of crystalline materials.

Conclusion
Definition
• These criteria are useful guidelines for
the forming of conventional oxide
glasses, but unsuitable for nonoxide
glasses.
• Chalcogenide glasses
– for instance, are chains of random lengths
and random orientation formed by the
bonding of the chalcogen elements sulfur,
selenium, or tellurium.
– Ions of these elements have a 2-
coordination requirement, and the chains
are cross-linked by 3- or 4-coordinated
elements such as arsenic, antimony, or
germanium.
♦ Glass is a solid that
possesses no long range
atomic order and, upon
heating, gradually softens
to the molten state.

Conclusion
Basic Ultrasonics
• “Ultrasonic" refers to sound that
above the frequencies of
audible sound, (beyond 20 kHz)
• Ultrasonic can be produced by
transducers
– piezoelectric effect
– magnetostrictive effect
• Piezoelectricity is the ability
of some crystals (quartz) and
certain ceramics materials to
generate an electric
potential in response to
applied mechanical stress.
• Magnetostrictive
transducers use magnetic
strength to produce high
intensity ultrasonic sound in
the 20-40 kHz range for the
ultrasonic cleaning and also
other mechanical applications

Conclusion
Ultrasonic wave are able to
propagate in medium by
method such as:
• Reflection
• Refraction
• Propagation
• Transmission
• Dispersion
• etc

• ability to form coherent
wave in which amplitude,
frequency,
• direction of propagation
can be controlled

Conclusion
Type of ultrasonic wave
2 type of ultrasonic
wave traveling in
solid such as glass:
 longitudinal wave
 shear wave
Longitudinal wave also known as
compressional waves
•the oscillation of the particle is
forward and backward, compressing,
and depressing.
Shear wave also known as transverse
wave
•the oscillation of particle in medium is
at right angles to the direction of
propagation.
•Shear wave can only propagate
through solid and cannot propagate in
liquid and gas.

2 methods of preparing glass samples
Glass Preparation
Conventional Method
 Cooling from the liquid
state/ Melt quenching
technique
 Condensation from the
vapor
 Pressure quenching
 Solution hydrolysis
Unconventional Method
Unconventional melting
Solution methods
Deposition methods
Solid-state transformations

Conclusion
Glass Formation
Normally, glass is formed upon the cooling of
a molten liquid in such a manner that the
ordering of atoms into a crystalline
formation is prevented.
Instead of the abrupt change in structure that
takes place in a crystalline material such
as metal as it is cooled below its melting
point
in the cooling of a glass-forming liquid there
is a continuous stiffening of the fluid until
the atoms are virtually frozen into a more
or less random arrangement similar to the
arrangement that they had in the fluid
state.

Conclusion

•lack of long-range order
results in larger volumes
(lower density), higher

given enough thermal energy
and time.

• isotropic macroscopic physical
properties
• no grain structure when viewed
under an optical microscope.
Glass structure relates to various
physical properties such as density,
thermal expansion, viscosity, surface
tension
and also miscellaneous mechanical
(including elastic), chemical and
electrical properties of glass.

GLASS PREPARATION PROCESS

Conclusion
Preparing Commercialized Glass
• Pure silica (SiO2) melts at a viscosity of
10 Pa s (100 P)— of over 2300 °C
(4200 °F).
• Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) lowers the
melting point to about 1500 °C
(2700 °F) in soda-lime glass
• Soda makes the glass water soluble,
which is usually undesirable, so lime
(calcium oxide (CaO), some
magnesium oxide (MgO) and
aluminium oxide are added to provide
for a better chemical durability.
• The resulting glass contains about 70
to 74 percent silica by weight and is
called a soda-lime glass.Soda-lime
glasses account for about 90 percent of
manufactured glass.
Lead glass, such as lead crystal
or flint glass, is more 'brilliant'
because the increased refractive
index causes noticeably more
"sparkles",
while boron may be added to
change the thermal and electrical
properties, as in Pyrex.
Marlinda Daud, Pusat Minerologi Ipoh

Conclusion
Special Glass
• Adding barium also increases the
refractive index.
• Thorium oxide gives high
refractive index and low dispersion,
(for high-quality lenses) but due to
its radioactivity has been replaced
by lanthanum oxide in modern eye
glasses.
• Large amounts of iron are used in
glass that absorbs infrared energy,
such as heat absorbing filters for
movie projectors,
• cerium(IV) oxide for absorbs UV
wavelengths (biologically damaging
ionizing radiation).
Finally, fining agents such
as sodium sulfate, sodium
chloride, or antimony oxide
are added to reduce the
bubble content in the glass.

Conclusion
Other Types of Glass
Besides common silica-
based glasses, many
other inorganic and
organic materials may
also form glasses,
including
– plastics (e.g., acrylic glass)
– phosphates,
– borates,
– chalcogenides,
– fluorides,
– germanates (glasses based
on GeO2),
•tellurites (glasses based
on TeO2),
• antimonates (glasses
based on Sb2O3),
• arsenates (glasses
based on As2O3),
• titanates (glasses
based on TiO2),
• tantalates (glasses
based on Ta2O5),
• nitrates, carbonates
and many other
substances.

Conclusion
Colored Glass
• Color in glass may be obtained by addition
of electrically charged ions and by
precipitation of finely dispersed particles
(such as in photochromic glasses).[
• Ordinary soda-lime glass appears
colorless
• iron(II) oxide (FeO) impurities of up to 0.1
wt%produce a green tint
• Further FeO and Cr2O3 additions may be
used for the production of green bottles.
• Sulfur, together with carbon and iron
salts, is used to form iron polysulfides and
produce amber glass ranging from
yellowish to almost black.
• Manganese dioxide can be added in
small amounts to remove the green tint
given by iron(II) oxide.

Conclusion
Variation of density and molar volume with mol% Bi2 O3
in Bi2 O3–B2 O3 glass systems.
The increase of the density of the glasses
accompanying the addition of Bi2 O3 is
probably attributable to a change in cross-link
density and coordination numbers of Bi3+ ions.

Conclusion
Elastic Properties of Materials
Application of external forces to a
solid body produces complex
internal forces which cause
– motion of the body,
– in the form of linear translation,
rotation and deformation.
The body is in a condition of
stress and any changes in the
shape or volume are then
referred to as strain
Elastic body - after removal
of the external force, the
material returns to its original
unstressed condition.
To study of elasticity we
consider infinitesimal
elastic deformations, where
stress is linearly proportional
to strain, as stated in Hooke's
law.

Conclusion
Elastic Properties of Materials
Elastic constants connect stress
and strain
Elastic constant can be
determined by propagating
ultrasonic elastic waves travel
through a medium.
The velocity of these waves and
density of the sample can be
used to determine the values of
these elastic constants.
The concept of elastic continuum is
applied to explain quantitatively the
elastic behavior of a solid body,
under external stresses
(temperature and hydrostatic
pressure)
Materials are assumed to behave like a
homogeneous continuous medium.
This approximation valid for elastic
waves of wavelengths λ longer than
10-6
cm, i.e. frequencies below 1012
Hz, and ultrasonic waves fulfill this
criterion.

Conclusion
Elasticity and Hooke's Law
• For sufficiently small deformations of
the solid body, each component of
stress is linearly related to each
component of strain by Hooke's law

Conclusion
Thermodynamic Definition of
Elastic Constants
Elastic constants can be also defined
thermodynamically i.e. with respect to
thermodynamic parameters (Brugger,
1964).
4 main thermodynamic potentials can be
involved,
U - internal energy
F - Helmholtz free energy
H - enthalpy and
G - Gibbs free energy
Each of these to be a function of entropy S,
temperature T, thermodynamic tension
components tij and reduced Lagrangian
strain components ηij/ρo where ρo,
represents the density of the
unstrained solid.

Since the form of this expansion is
similar to the expansion of potential
energy in terms of interatomic
displacement,
It is possible to relate the elastic
stiffness constants to the interatomic
forces in a solid.

Conclusion
Propagation of Elastic Waves In Solid
One way to determine the elastic
properties of any solid is through a
dynamic test in which elastic waves
are propagated in the solid.
Assumption
• Propagated waves behave
adiabatically:
• Entropy is conserved;
• Wavelengths are much greater
than the interatomic spacing
• Small displacement of the atoms
To ensure that the deformation is
elastic and Hooke's law is obeyed.

Conclusion
Interatomic Potential Energy
In a simple lattice dynamical model, the
restoring forces between atoms and
hence their potential energy are
generally considered to be a function of
the atomic displacement from
equilibrium positions.
In the harmonic and anharmonic lattice
vibration models for a solid
TOEC play an important role in
accounting for the anharmonic and
nonlinear properties of solids in
the long wavelength acoustic
modes.

Both increase at ﬁrst with increasing Bi2
O3 mol% up to a maximum at 25 mol%

mol% increases further.

Dependence of longitudinal modulus on

One reason for this difference may come from the
volume effect, in that C44 expresses the
resistance of the body to deformation where no
change in volume is involved, while C11 expresses
the resistance where compressions and
expansions are involved.

Conclusion
Temperature Variations of the SOEC
The dependence of elastic constants
upon temperature is another
consequence of anharmonicity of the
interatomic potential energy in solids.
The normal behaviour of the thermal
variations of the SOEC of most
crystals,, is characterized by two
general features;
•a linear increase with decreasing
temperature and
•a zero slope in the region where the
temperature approaches zero Kelvin.
The linear dependence of elastic
constants on temperature, especially
above the Debye temperature θD ,is
due to the anharmonic nature of the
lattice vibrations.
The linearity of this dependence may
break down in the vicinity of a phase
transition.

constant versus temperature

Conclusion
Variation of velocity and elastic moduli with temperature of Lead
Bismuth Tellurite (BTP) Glasses

Conclusion
At sufficiently low temperatures it is
expected that in most crystalline
solids the slope of dCIJ/dT would
decrease i.e. dCIJ/dT →0 as T →0
which is a direct consequence of
the third law of thermodynamics.
However in certain materials like
glasses, this particular feature is not
always observed; instead of
showing a zero slope of dCIJ/dT,
the elastic constant increases to a
maximum value at low temperature
(~1K).
This behaviour has been ascribed
to interactions with two-level
systems (Anderson et al. 1972,
Phillips 1972).

Conclusion
At very low temperatures where only ground states
have to be considered, the groups of atoms are still
able to tunnel through a barrier. This gives rise to
an energy splitting of the ground state for this two-
level system given by

where
The parameter Δ designates the asymmetry of
two-level potential, Δo represents the tunneling
energy and λ is a tunnelling parameter
describing the overlap of the wavefunctions of
two states in a quantum mechanical theory
(Phillips 1981). The parameter ωo is the
frequency of oscillation in an individual well.

The Debye temperature θD is useful in
describing the thermal behaviour of
solids and it plays an important role in the
theory of lattice vibrations.
θD measure of the separation of the low
temperature quantum mechanical region,
where the vibrational modes begin to be
"frozen out", from the high temperature
region where all modes begin to be
excited according to classical theory.
θD can be obtained directly from heat
capacity measurements, and it can be
also derived from a set of the elastic
constants.

Mode Grüneisen Parameters
The mode Grüneisen parameter is
an important tool for investigation
of anharmonic effect in solid.
One way to derive the Grünisen parameter is
by considering the entropy of the system in
the quasiharmonic form (Barron 1995)

Conclusion
Conclusion
• The general discussion on basic
glass and its preparation, as well
as the fundamental of elastic
properties have been discussed
• Experimental shows the physical
and elastic properties of glasses
were found slightly affected by the
changes in the glass composition.
• The densities of most glasses
increases as the glass modifier
content was added to substitute the
glass former content while their
molar volume increases or
decreases due to the composition.
•The experimental setup has
been discussed for evaluating the
ultrasonic and elastic properties
of materials at low temperatures
and high pressure.
•There are possibility in
evaluating the elastic properties
of any glass based materials at
elevated temperatures and
pressure in order to obtain their
elastic behaviour.
