説明
We have developed synchrotron x-ray absorption and diffraction techniques for measuring the density and structure of noncrystalline materials at high pressures and have applied them to studying the behavior of SiO2 glass. The density, coordination number, and Si-O bond length at a pressure of 50 GPa were measured to be 4.63 g/cm;{3}, 6.3, and 1.71 A, respectively. Based on the density data measured in this study and the sound velocity data available in the literature, the bulk modulus at 50 GPa was estimated to be 390 GPa, which is consistent with the pressure dependence of the density in the vicinity of 50 GPa. These results, together with the knowledge from our exploratory study, suggest that SiO2 glass behaves as a single amorphous polymorph having a sixfold-coordinated structure at pressures above 40-45 GPa up to at least 100 GPa.
