When oxide glasses are modified by dissimilar alkali ions, a maximum in the electric resistivity or the expansion coefficient appears, called the mixed-alkali effect (MAE). This paper reviews the MAE on the thermal, elastic, and vibrational properties of the mixed-cesium lithium borate glasses, x{(1−y)Cs2O-yLi2O}-(1−x)B2O3. For the single-alkali borate glasses, xM2O(1−x)-B2O3 (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs), the glass transition temperature, Tg = 270 °C, of a borate glass monotonically increases as the alkali content x increases. However, for the mixed-cesium lithium borate glasses the Tg shows the minimum against the lithium fraction y. The dependences of the elastic properties on the lithium fraction y were discussed regarding the longitudinal modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and Cauchy-type relation. The internal vibrational bands related to the boron-oxide structural groups and the splitting of a boson peak were discussed based on Raman scattering spectroscopy. The MAE on various physical properties are discussed on the basis of the changes in the coordination number of the borons and the nonbridging oxygens caused by the dissimilar alkali ions.

ABSTRACTNetwork structures of several kinds of oxide glasses were analyzed by means of neutron or x-ray diffraction method and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations including silicate, borate and tellurite glasses. The basic scheme of the structure highly depends on the bonding nature of network forming oxide, but the size of the alkali ions is another important factor to control the network structure of the glass. Structures of silicate glasses are rather easily reproduced by means of MD simulation, whereas borate or tellurite glass structures are hard to be constructed by MD calculation with only 2-body potentials. It is necessary to use adequate potentials to control the bonding angles of O-M-O or M-O-M. The network structure of tellurite glass seems very complex because of the shape of structural units with low symmetry, the use of a new kind of potential was found indispensable to reproduce the glass structure by MD.In addition to the network structure, the polarization of ions seems to be important to understand the whole vision of oxide glass structures. A new kind of MD was developed which took polarization of ions into account to understand the mixed alkali effects in silicate glasses.

ABSTRACTThe lack of general applicability of the many theoretical models for the mixed alkali effect (MAE) in glasses is briefly reviewed. Although the MAE appears to be related to the bonding affinity of alkali ions to charge compensating centers in the glass network, experimental scatter and the difficulty of comparing different glass networks have prevented systematic tests of this relationship. The present paper discusses why the mixed alkali germanate glasses should provide a glass system where the concentration and strength of charge-compensating centers can be systematically varied and the relationship to the MAE tested. Such tests are only possible if the ionic conductivity of a series of mixed alkali germanate glasses can be measured in a reproducible manner. The measurements of the ionic conductivity of two series of X(Na,Rb)2O:(1-X)GeO2 glasses, with X = 0.19 and X = 0.29, respectively, suggest the necessary reproducibility can be attained.

AbstractTwo sodium-free mixed alkali series of bioactive glasses based on compositions Bioglass 45S5 and ICIE1, containing lithium and/or potassium as alkali ions, were prepared by a melt-quench route. Thermal properties showed the well-known mixed alkali effect, with glass transition and crystallisation temperatures and the coefficient of thermal expansion going either through a minimum or a maximum for the mixed alkali composition, resulting in a wider processing window. Ion release, by contrast, was controlled by the modifier ionic radius, with ion release rates in dynamic and static dissolution studies increasing for potassium-substituted glasses compared to the composition containing lithium as the only alkali ion. This was caused by pronounced changes in oxygen packing density and molar volume of the glasses owing to the differences in ionic radii (76 pm for Li+ and 138 pm for K+). Partially substituting one alkali for another therefore helps to improve high temperature processing of bioactive glasses and can also be used to control or tailor ion release.
