Dewetting of reactive CaMgSiO <inf>4</inf> glass films on single-crystal MgO(001) substrate

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

The early stages of dewetting of a reactive silicate (CaMgSiO 4) film on a ceramic (MgO) substrate were studied by scanning probe microscopy. Subsequent interactions between the glass phase and an underlying single-crystal substrate, such as dissolution/re-precipitation of substrate material at the glass-ceramic interface and evaporation of silicate phase, were investigated by observing selected areas of the specimens through a series of annealing-quenching cycles. Implications deduced from the CaMgSiO 4-MgO equilibrium phase diagram on the process of dissolution/re-precipitation of MgO are briefly discussed.
