The dependence of the fragility on the Grüneisen lattice parameter, which is a measure of the anharmonicity of lattice vibrations, is established for lead silicate and sodium borate glasses. An expression relating the fragility of glasses to the parameters of the Williams-Landell-Ferry equation is obtained. The calculation performed using this expression is in agreement with the results of the conventional determination of the fragility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
