Influence of Nano-Nd2O3 on Crystallization Mechanism of Fused Quartz
摘要
The isothermal crystallization kinetics of pure fused quartz of blank specimen N- 0 and specimen N- 3 in troduced with 3 mass% nano-Nd2O3 was researched by means of XRD and Avrami equation. The results show that crystallization mechanisms of fused quartz in two specimens are both heterogeneous nucleation type caused by surface structure defects,and the grain growth mode of two specimens are both two-dimensional growth ac companied by one-dimensional and three-dimensiona growths,specimen N- 3 has the higher degree of grain growth in one-dimensional and three-dimensional than specimen N- 0; introducing nano-Nd2O3 can obviously reduce the active nucleation sitesof glass structure on the fused quartz particles surface,enhance the stability o glass structure,increase the activation energy of fused quartz crystallization from 874 k J · mol- 1to 1 270 k J·mol- 1,and decrease the crystallization rate of fused quartz obviously.
