T1 - Aluminum speciation and thermal evolution of aluminas resulting from modified Yoldas sols N2 - Aluminas resulting from sols prepared via a modified Yoldas procedure were studied with differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential thermal gravimetrie (DTG), 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance (27Al MAS NMR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) concerning their thermal properties, aluminum speciation and phase content. Hydrolysis of aluminum-sec-butoxide in aluminum nitrate solutions allowed to prepare stable sols with varying NO3-/Al molar ratios, solids contents and pH values. Resulting sols contained different aluminum species including also Al13 polycations. Sol preparation conditions also determined aluminum speciation in solid products obtained after thermal treatments of gels obtained from these sols. Al13 polycations and AlO5 species were found to play an important role for thermally induced transformation from amorphous products via eta-Al2O3 to alpha-Al2O3. Intermediately formed eta-Al2O3 promotes the phase transformation to alpha-Al2O3.

Tailored sol–gel syntheses result in precursors with nano-scaled silica species which are able to penetrate into the cell walls of wood. The physical fixation of those species inside the cell walls was verified by ESEM/EDX investigations. There is evidence that the silica species are chemically bonded to wood components. Nonreacted alkoxy groups can exist in the wood composites after impregnation. The amount of these organic residues depends on the composition of the precursors, especially their condensation degree and reactivity. Treatments for finishing the composites after the impregnation step to get clean products and stable properties are discussed in this context. An explanation of the complex relationship between solids content in the impregnation solutions and percentage weight gain and bulking of the composites is given. It can be demonstrated that high WPG values (>20 %) are pre-conditions for an effective protection of the resulting composites but they only guarantee efficient improvements if connected with the incorporation of the inorganic component inside the cell walls. Therefore, the sol–gel syntheses have to be carried out in such a manner that very small (<2 nm) as well as reactive species are sufficiently available. This demands syntheses using sub-stoichiometric water contents (H2O/TEOS <4, better <2).

T1 - Sample preparation for analytical scanning electron microscopy using initial notch sectioning N2 - A novel method for broad ion beam based sample sectioning using the concept of initial notches is presented. An adapted sample geometry is utilized in order to create terraces with a well-define d step in erosion depth from the surface. The method consists of milling a notch into the surface, followed by glancing-angle ion beam erosion, which leads to preferential erosion at the notch due to increased local surface elevation. The process of terrace formation can be utilized in sample preparation for analytical scanning electron microscopy in order to get efficient access to the depth-dependent microstructure of a material. It is demonstrated that the method can be applied to both conducting and non-conducting specimens. Furthermore, experimental parameters influencing the preparation success are determined. Finally, as a proof-of-concept, an electron backscatter diffraction study on a surface crystallized diopside glass ceramic is performed, where the method is used to analyze orientation dependent crystal growth phenomena occurring during growth of surface crystals into the bulk.

Glass formation is possible over a wide compositional range, but the system also contains ranges of pronounced phase separation and crystallization tendency. Despite its importance, experimental data are limited to few compositional areas. The general understanding and modelling of glass formation, phase separation, and crystallization in this system would therefore be easier if small step melt series could be studied. The efficient melting of such glass series is now possible with the new robotic glass melting system at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM, Division Glasses). Using three exemplary joins within this NBS system, the small step changes of glass transition temperature (Tg), crystallization behavior as well as glass density (Roh) was studied. Additionally, experimental Tg and Roh data were compared with their modeled counterparts using SciGlass and a newly developed DFT model, respectively.

Thus, it has a considerable influence on aging and fatigue as well as on sub-critical crack growth in glasses. In this connection also sub-Tg relaxation processes play a major role, but they are poorly investigated in glasses with high contents of structural bonded water. Therefore, soda-lime-silicate and sodium-borosilicate glasses with water contents up to 5 wt.% H2O were investigated by differential thermal analysis and sphere penetration viscometry, as well as internal friction measurements. The latter was applied to study network related relaxation mechanisms (α-relaxation) in the range of glass transition, as well as faster relaxation modes occurring at lower temperatures (β-, γ- relaxation). Total water content and concentrations of H2O molecules (CH2O) and OH groups (COH) in the glasses were determined by infrared spectroscopy. For low water contents two sub-Tg internal friction peaks were observed and assigned to the low-temperature motion of alkali ions (γ-relaxation) and cooperative movements of dissimilar mobile species under participation of OH at higher temperature (βOH relaxation). For large water contents, where significant amounts of molecular water are evident, a low temperature shoulder appears on the β-relaxation peak. This emerging relaxation mode (βH2O relaxation) was assigned to the motions of H2O molecules. T2 - 91.

So hat Wasser einen großen Einfluss auf die Alterung, Ermüdung und das unterkritische Risswachstum in Gläsern. Sub-Tg Relaxationsphänomene spielen hier ebenfalls eine große Rolle, sind aber für Gläser mit hohen Gehalten an strukturell gebundenem Wasser kaum untersucht. In dieser Arbeit wurden daher Kalk-Natron-Silikat (NCS) und Natrium-Borosilikat (NBS) Gläser mit Wassergehalten von bis zu 8 Gew.% mittels Differentialthermoanalyse (DTA), Mikropenetration und vor allem dynamisch mechanischer Thermoanalyse (DMTA) zur Charakterisierung netzwerkbedingter Relaxationsmechanismen (alpha-Relaxation) im Bereich des Glasübergangs sowie weiterer schnellerer sub-Tg Relaxationsmechanismen (beta-, gamma-Relaxation) bei tieferen Temperaturen untersucht. Mit Hilfe der IR-Spektroskopie wurde der Gesamtwassergehalt und die Speziation des Wassers als molekulares Wasser oder als OH-Gruppe in den Gläsern bestimmt. Für niedrige Wassergehalte treten zwei sub-Tg Verlustpeaks auf, die der Bewegung von Alkali bei tiefen Temperaturen (gamma-Relaxation) und einer kooperativen Bewegung verschiedener mobiler Spezies unter Beteiligung von OH bei höherer Temperatur (betaOH- Relaxation) zugeordnet werden können. Bei hohen Wassergehalten, bei denen ein messbarer Anteil an molekularem Wasser im Glas vorliegt, ist ein weiterer Verlustpeak zu beobachten, der mit der Bewegung von molekularem Wasser im Glasnetzwerk in Verbindung gebracht werden könnte (betaH2O-Relaxation).

The crystallization at the immediate surface as well as the crystal growth into the bulk are analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) including energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) as well as X-ray diffraction in the Θ–2Θ setup (XRD). The immediate surface shows the oriented nucleation of walstromite as well as the formation of wollastonite and an unknown phase of the composition BaCaSi3O8. All three phases also grow into the bulk where walstromite ultimately dominates the kinetic selection and grows throughout the bulk due to a lack of bulk nucleation. Walstromite shows systematic orientation changes as well as twinning during growth. A critical analysis of the XRD-patterns acquired from various crystallized samples indicates that their evaluation is problematic and that phases detected by XRD in this system should be verified by another method such as EDXS.

T1 - Structural relaxation mechanisms in hydrous sodium borosilicate glasses N2 - Borosilicate glasses (16Na2O–10B2O3–74SiO2, NBS) with water contents up to 22 mol% H2O were prepared to study the effect of water on structural relaxation using DTA, viscometry and internal friction measurements. The results show that the glass transition temperature Tg of DTA and the isokom temperature T12, of viscometry are in excellent agreement, confirming the equivalence of enthalpy and viscous relaxation for NBS glass. Combining Tg data with water speciation data demonstrates that OH groups are mainly responsible for the decrease of Tg with increasing hydration, while molecular water plays only a minor role. Internal friction spectra at 7.125 Hz confirm the decisive influence of water on mechanical relaxation. The temperature range of α-relaxation (glass transition) strongly decreases while two β-relaxation peaks (sub-Tg) progressively appear with increasing water content. A high temperature β-relaxation peak, attributed to the presence of OH groups, shifts from 670 to 450 K as total water content increases from 0.01 to 5 wt%. A low temperature β-relaxation peak, attributed to molecular water, appears at 380 K and 330 K in glasses containing 3 and 5 wt% H2O, respectively. These findings suggest that relaxation mechanism of different hydrous species at low temperature may contribute to fatigue of stressed glasses.

Dieses Konzept wurde am Institut für Physik in Rennes erfolgreich bei der Berechnung der Bruchflächenenergien von Gläsern angewandt. Mehrere orientierte Keimbildungsphänomene lassen sich dadurch erklären, dass man annimmt, dass Kristalloberflächen mit hoher Energie dazu neigen, von der Schmelze benetzt zu werden.

T1 - Temperature-Induced Phase Transitions of Vivianite: In Situ Analysis of a Redox-Driven Crystallization N2 - We document a solid-state, temperature-dependent (25−700 °C), multistage redox transformation of crystalline ferrous iron phosphate, vivianite (Fe3(PO4)2·8H2O). Under anoxic conditions, vivianite breaks down at T > 250 °C into an anhydrous, amorphous intermediate Fe3(PO4)2 phase, yet the bulk shape and morphology of the starting vivianite crystals were retained. This amorphous intermediate phase remained stable until T > 500 °C, after which a redox-dependent crystallization into two different minerals was observed. Under anoxic conditions, the amorphous ferrous intermediate (Fe3(PO4)2) transformed into the crystalline ferrous phosphate (graftonite, (Fe2+)3(PO4)2), while under oxic conditions it crystallized into a ferric phosphate (rodolicoite, Fe3+PO4). Graftonite formation occurs via an exothermic molar enthalpy (ΔHcryst) of −16.7 ± 0.2 kJ mol−1. Rietveld refinements of the two crystalline endmembers (vivianite and graftonite) revealed a unit cell volume decrease of ∼3.1% during the transformation, which was observed by in situ electron microscopic observations as an overall shrinking of the initial vivianite crystals. Despite volume loss and bubble-like features, the original vivianite shape was preserved, indicating a solid-state pseudomorphic transformation. Ex situ XRD and TEM-EELS analyses confirmed the ferrous-to-ferric oxidation, forming rodolicoite, through changes in the Fe geometry and oxidation state.

N2 - Oriented surface crystallization on polished diopside glass surfaces has been studied with scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and laser scanning microscopy. An orientation preference of [001] parallel to the glass surface was detected for separately growing diopside crystals even as small as 700 nm in size. This finding shows that crystal orientation occurs in the outermost surface layer without crystal-crystal interaction and indicates that the crystal orientation is a result of oriented nucleation. Depending on surface preparation, monomodal crystal orientation distributions with [100] perpendicular to the surface or bimodal distributions with [100] and [010] perpendicular to the glass Surface were detected. It was also shown that the degree of crystal orientation increases with decreasing Surface roughness. The observed orientation of diopside crystals could be explained in terms of the interfacial energies of different crystal faces.

Data analysis reveals significant deviations from this intrinsic brittle fracture behavior. These deviations do not follow simple compositional trends.
