Özet

Relaxation kinetics of boron coordination environments in a borosilicate glass in response to temperature jumps has been monitored using 11B magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The relaxation time scale of the BO4/BO3 ratio is found to be closely comparable with those of the bulk properties, namely, refractive index and viscosity, showing a close connection with one another. Samples partially equilibrated at a low temperature, when subjected to a positive temperature jump, display an initial rapid decrease followed by an increase in the BO4/BO3 ratio. This reversal in the trend of the variation of the BO4/BO 3 ratio has been interpreted to be the signature of a memory effect, and the implications are discussed within the framework of the potential energy landscape model of glassy dynamics. © 2007 American Chemical Society.
