Abstract

In this letter, we investigate the correlation between glass microstructure and glass stability (GS) in soda lime aluminosilicates. We find a loss of GS (i.e., an onset of crystallization) in the glasses above a critical concentration of Al ₂O ₃ when heating at the standard rate of 20 K/min. This loss in GS may be attributed to formation of five-fold coordinated Al species when [Al ₂O ₃]/[Na ₂O] > 1. The primary crystalline phase is identified as nepheline, in which Al exists in four-fold coordination. This implies that the five-fold coordinated Al is energetically less stable compared to Al in a tetrahedral environment.
