Abstract
The thermal expansion and stress relaxation in mixed alkali borate glasses containing lithium, sodium, and potassium oxides with a total alkali oxide content of 15 mol % are measured on an inclined quartz dilatometer and a relaxometer. The experimental data obtained are used to determine the thermal expansion coefficients and the structural and mechanical relaxation parameters. No deviations from the additivity are found in the concentration dependences of the thermal expansion coefficient and the calculated parameters determining the width of the spectra of the structural and stress relaxation times. The IR absorption spectra of the studied glasses are recorded in the range of stretching vibrations of hydroxyl groups. Analysis of the IR spectra makes it possible to assume that the content of residual water in the structure of borate glasses affects the manifestation of the mixed alkali effect in the properties of these glasses.
