Abstract

Sodium alumino-silicate glasses having a constant concentration of alkali ions (15mol%) were prepared. The interdiffusion of potassium ions, K+, for sodium ions, Na+, in the glass composition having AI/Na= 1 was investigated in the presence and absence of a microwave field. Characterization consisted of dielectric loss measurements, electron microprobe analysis (EMP), and microhardness indentation.
