摘要

Ag-doped alkali borosilicate glasses with different TiO2 contents were prepared by the melting method. The viscosity-temperature curves of the glass samples were fitted using the MYEGA equation, and it was found that the viscosity of the glass showed a gradual decrease with the increase of TiO2 content in the interval of the crystallization temperature of the glass. The results of XPS analysis show that TiO2 mainly enters the glass network in the form of [TiO4] before the heat treatment of the glass samples. In contrast, after the heat treatment, the contents of [TiO4] and [TiO5] in the glass decreased significantly, and the content of [TiO6] increased, which led to the separation of TiO2 from the glass network. The microhardness of glass shows the same pattern. Raman spectral analysis shows that the introduction of TiO2 promotes phase separation in glass. The reduction of glass viscosity facilitates the movement of particles within the glass, while the creation of phase separation promotes heterogeneous nucleation of grains. FE-SEM analysis reveals that the silver halide grains in the heat-treated glass are dispersed in the matrix in a spherical shape, and the average size of the silver halide grains tends to increase with the increase of TiO2 content.
