Abstract

We investigated the crystallization and resulting morphology of a stoichiometric barium-silicate glass 1BaO-2SiO2 (glassy sanbornite) by using transmission electron microscope and Raman spectroscopy. A crystalline aggregate structure consisting of a Ba5Si8O21 phase (trunk) and a β-BaSi2O5 phase (branch) was observed in the heat-treated glassy sanbornite. The Ba-richer phase of Ba 5Si8O21 precipitated prior to the formation of the stoichiometric β-BaSi2O5 phase, suggesting the presence of the region in which the Ba ions are enriched or cohesively distributed. A considerable structural similarity between the glassy sanbornite and the Ba5Si8O21 phase was also suggested in this study.
