Adhesion of (Ge21Te79)100–x(AgI)x (x = 30, 40, 50) Glasses and Melts to Quartz Glass
摘要
This study investigates the effect of the formation temperature of an adhesion contact on the interfacial strength in (Ge21Te79)100–x(AgI)x glass–quartz glass systems. The contact wetting angles of (Ge21Te79)100–x(AgI)x glass melts on a quartz glass substrate were determined experimentally, and the surface tension of these chalcogenide glasses was measured. The temperature dependence of the work of adhesion for the (Ge21Te79)100–x(AgI)x glass melts to quartz glass was also examined. The findings indicate a correlation between the adhesive strength of the solid-phase boundary and the work of adhesion of the chalcogenide melt to the quartz glass surface. The adhesive strength of the (Ge21Te79)100–x (AgI)x glasses to quartz glass increases from 508 to 1104 kPa as the silver iodide content rises from 30 to 50 mol.%.
