Extract

Silicate glasses are the most common constituents of intergranular phases which can be found in liquid-phase sintered ceramics [1]. Silicates are known to influence the structure of ceramic interfaces which, in turn, frequently affect mechanical properties of ceramic materials [2]. In earlier studies of silicate glasses on single-crystal alumina Ramamurthy et al [3] and Mallamaci [4] showed that the morphology of dewetted glass films and the mechanism of devitrification depend on the crystallographic orientation of the substrate surface. In continuation of these studies, results are presented on the dewetting behavior of monticellite (CaMgSi04) in contact with the (OOl)-oriented surface of single-crystal MgO. Due to the simplicity of sample preparation and availability of 3- dimensional topographic information, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used for surface characterization. These AFM results are complemented by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) data on the chemical composition and the structure of the glass-substrate interface.
