Densification of oxide glasses at the glass transition offers a novel route to develop bulk
glasses with tailored properties for emerging applications. Such densification can be …

Viscosity is the single most important physical property governing the formation, transport
and eruption of naturally occurring silicate melts and magmas. Silicate melt viscosity is of …

Tecto-aluminosilicate and peraluminous glasses have been prepared by conventional and
laser heating techniques, respectively, in the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system. The structure of …

Because of their importance in both the geosciences and the glass-making industry, alkali
aluminosilicate melts have been the focal point of many past studies, but despite progress …

For two series of aluminosilicate glasses on the SiO2-NaAlO2 and SiO2-CaAl2O4 joins,
29Si magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectra were measured. Systematic variations in …

We present enhanced-precision viscosity determinations for Na2O Al22O3 SiO2 liquids
which challenge the commonly held view that melts of tectosilicate stoichiometry in this …

Newtonian viscosities of 19 natural multicomponent melts ranging in composition from
basanite through phonolite and trachyte, to dacite have been analysed in the range of 100 …

The amphoteric oxide Al 2 O 3 has different behaviors in different chemical environments. In
an acidic environment, Al 3+ breaks the network structure while in an alkaline environment …

Configurational changes with temperature are important for the thermodynamic and
transport properties of most aluminosilicate melts, but in general are not well understood …

We investigate short-range order and local atomic configuration in charge-balanced
aluminosilicate glasses as functions of composition, using 17O and 27Al MAS and triple …
