Abstract
The formation of a bubble structure in the glass of composition 26Li2O · 74SiO2 is investigated. The stable reproducible characteristics of the bubble structure are obtained, namely, dependences of the number of bubbles on the conditions of glass synthesis, i.e., the synthesis temperature, the synthesis time, and the type of initial reagents. It is shown that the number of bubbles decreases with an increase in the height of the sample (glass melt in the crucible), as well as with an increase in the synthesis temperature at a fixed synthesis time or with an increase in the synthesis time for each specific temperature. The bubble size distribution curves are obtained for all synthesis conditions. The reproducible bubble structure is determined for each layer of the glass sample, which is subsequently used in studying the kinetics of heterogeneous nucleation.
