Abstract

The elastic properties of two types of aluminosilicate (basaltic and rhyolitic) glasses have been studied using both Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy at ambient conditions. It has been found that the elastic moduli of the basaltic glasses decrease with increasing SiO2 concentration. The shear moduli displayed the least dependence on SiO2 content. The bulk moduli of the basaltic glasses strongly depend on the sum of the Q 3 and Q 4 anionic units. Among the modifiers, iron cations showed the strongest effect on the elastic properties of the rhyolitic glasses. For the elastic moduli of rhyolitic glasses, the major effect of alkaline earth cations is on shear modulus; however, both iron and alkali cations showed stronger effects on bulk modulus and similar relative contribution between bulk and shear moduli (based on the equivalent M+ cation). The dependences of elastic moduli on bulk NBO/T observed in both types of glasses suggest that the elastic modulus of an aluminosilicate glass depends on the concentration of effective modifying cations rather than the apparent concentration of all non-network-forming cations. An analysis of data also indicated that the ideal molar mixing model is failed in prediction of the elastic properties of the present multicomponent glasses by using the known parameters.
