Abstract
Structural transformations of nanometer sized crystals in CoO-doped β-eucryptite-based glass-ceramics were studied by optical spectra and X-ray diffraction analysis. Four types of Co(II) absorption spectra were revealed. In the course of amorphous phase separation Co(II) ions enter into the aluminotitanate amorphous phase. Nanometer sized crystals of CoAl 2O 4, TiO 2 and CoTiO 3 precipitate at elevated temperature. The temperature reversible order–disorder phenomenon was revealed in spinel crystals. Nanometer sized disordered crystals of β-eucryptite solid solution precipitate after heat treatment at 720°C. At a crystallization temperature higher than 900°C, an ordering of these crystals takes place which is confirmed by the absorption spectra and the temperature dependence of lattice parameters of the unit cell.
