  • 提高玻璃的热稳定性对拓展其应用至关重要。物理气相沉积法因能有效提升玻璃热稳定性而备受关注,已被用于多种玻璃类型的超稳定玻璃制备。然而,“具有何种特征的玻璃在气相沉积中能够实现热稳定性的更大幅度提升”这一问题,目前仍未得到明确解答。尽管已有研究指出分子玻璃体系中液体脆度与热稳定性提升存在弱关联,但该关联能否进一步强化、是否具备跨体系普适性,仍有待验证。本研究以液体脆度极低的As2S3玻璃为对象,探究热蒸发法制备的As2S3玻璃薄膜的热稳定性特征,同时通过统计分析,研究液体脆度在不同玻璃体系中对热稳定性提升的影响规律。结果表明:气相沉积As2S3玻璃的玻璃转变温度较液冷普通玻璃仅提升5.5 K,焓值升高约4 J/g;同时发现,不同玻璃体系中动力学稳定性提升幅度与液体脆度存在强关联,且该关联对玻璃类型存在显著敏感性差异。该结果不仅为超稳定玻璃的快速表面动力学形成机制提供有力支撑,也为玻璃材料的定向设计与性能优化提供重要指导。

     

    Glass is a structurally disordered solid in a thermodynamic non-equilibrium state, and thermal stability is one of the most critical properties ensuring its long-term serviceability. Therefore, improving the thermal stability of glass is essential for expanding its applications. Physical vapor deposition has attracted extensive attention due to its ability to effectively enhance the thermal stability of glass, and has been employed to prepare ultrastable glasses of various types. However, a key question remains unsolved: what glass characteristics enable greater thermal stability improvement during vapor deposition? While prior studies noted a weak correlation between liquid fragility and thermal stability enhancement in molecular glasses, whether this correlation can be strengthened and if it applies universally across all glass types remains unconfirmed. Here, we select As2S3 glass with low liquid fragility as the model system. The thermal stability characteristics of As2S3 glass films prepared by thermal evaporation were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Meanwhile, through statistical analysis, the influence of liquid fragility on the enhancement of thermal stability in different glass systems was also studied. Our results show that, compared with liquid-cooled ordinary glass, vapor-deposited As2S3 only exhibits a 5.5 K increase in glass transition temperature and a ~4 J/g rise in enthalpy. Furthermore, after unifying the deposition conditions, a distinct cross-system correlation and a strong intra-system correlation were identified between the improvement in kinetic stability of vapor-deposited glasses and liquid fragility. Notably, this correlation also exhibits significant sensitivity differences to the valence bond types of glasses. These results not only support the rapid surface dynamic mechanism of ultrastable glass formation, but also offer a reference for understanding the relationship between glass structure and dynamics, and importantly, provide crucial guidance for the targeted design and performance optimization of glass materials.
