Abstract
Helium permeation, diffusion, and solubility were measured for K2O-SiO2 glasses containing 0 to 32 mol% K2O. All 3 parameters decrease continuously with increasing K concentration. Comparison of these results with those reported previously for Na2O-SiO2 glasses confirm the contention that helium migration in glass is affected by changes in substructure as well as in atomistic structure. Helium mobility and solubility in single-phase glasses appear to be controlled by the accessible free volume of the glass network.
