Abstract

The kinetics of binodal decomposition in model glasses of the Na2O-SiO2 system from the initial stage to the stage of the Ostwald ripening inclusive has been investigated in situ. It has been found that the spatial-temporal evolution of the heterogeneous structure during binodal decomposition has a multistage character. The characteristic size of the phase regions at each stage of the binodal decomposition varies with time according to the power law L ∼ tβ. The values of exponents β for different stages of the binodal decomposition are as follows: 1/20 (fluctuation stage), 1/2 (growth stage), 0 (transient stage), and 1/3 (Ostwald ripening stage). The particle size distributions for all stages of the binodal decomposition have been presented.
