Towards a Clearer Picture of Complex BorosilicatesNMR of Borate Model Glasses • Scott Kroeker • Department of Chemistry, University of Manitoba • Solid-State NMR of Nuclear-Related Materials • Cambridge, September 23, 2005
Medium-Range OrderCesium Borate Glasses • 11B MAS NMR • 11.7 T • R = Cs/B = 0.2 22 18 14 10 6 2 -2 -6 ppm
Tetrahedral Boron FractionCesium Borate Glasses • Quantify contributions to N4 • Smooth variation with R
Tetrahedral BoronAlkali Borate Glasses • 11B MAS NMR • 14.1 T • R = 0.1
Tetrahedral Boron FractionAlkali Borate Glasses • Dispersion in N4 trends at higher alkali • Heavier vs. lighter alkali • Light alkalis stabilize tetrahedral boron?
Li Na K Rb Cs Shear ModulusAlkali Borate Glasses • Steady increase (Li,Na) • Complex behaviour (K,Rb,Cs) • Discontinuities related to spectroscopic data Feller et al. Phys. Chem. Glasses (2003), 44, 117-120.
