Thugs of Hydrogenics : [TOH] - Introduction to their Attack in Glasses

By -

Dear Friends,

I was wandering a lot in the orbit to connect with you guys; unfortunately I was unable to restart due to some kind of hindrance within and today I have come back. The 75 articles so far had made me what I am today. As a blogger, I am not sure how many find it useful or thoughtful.  I personally get satisfied when I publish a post which connects life with science. I can see myself being transparent as possible because, I don’t think much while writing it, I just write what I feel and that is the reason why these articles are debatable.

As I told you that, I love being transparent and at times these transparencies have some conspiracies just the way we discussed in our previous article “THE BORON OXIDE ANOMALY”. Today, I feel like writing the trouble maker (alkali atoms) role in Silicate glasses where there are pronounced changes in properties due to addition of secondary alkali oxide to glass which is termed as Mixed Alkali Effect. I look this effect in three different ways.
#FascinatingGlassScience: It is time to break up thoughts into action 


#Perception: 1
The role of Alkali as we travel in way where the concentration of host alkali ions would diffuse quicker  just like the vehicles driven by the host who is not in need of any GPS; whereas when we encounter with some intruder, who uses GPS while driving is always troublesome to the free moving traffic .The fact is the role of alkali(intruder/impurity) who is trouble maker in primary alkali network leads to a chaotic situation where, the diffusion or mass transport of alkali ions reduces as we check with intervention of secondary alkali thus leading to some kind of resistance.

#Perception: 2
The Alkali atom here follows a similar trend where it always goes with tug-of-war with another alkali atom, this indeed results in reducing their mobility and hence when they are of equal power (in Tug of War) they act immobile, this immobility results in decrease in conductivity. That reduction may be due to several reasons, as I have started to REEL, my thought process will now focus on the MAE (Mixed Alkali Effect) theories.  The world of Silicates is fascinating when these Thugs of Hydrogenic Atom tries to cut of the trade with electron transport. The story here revolves around the rebellion groups in Alkali family, Larger the difference between alkali members, more would be the resistance.

#Perception 3:
Generation gap and that’s causing up difficulty, it is quite clear that we normally find it difficult to convince the older ones, this may be due to either advancement of intellectuality (in terms of technological advancements) or may be due to decrement in value of emotion (as the days have adapted to have more virtual connect as compared to meeting someone in person). This hindrance what we observe is also as same as things that appear when two alkali members (elder like Cesium and younger like Lithium) meet with lot of resistance.


All these perceptions on Mixed Alkali Effect is just an attempt to understand exactly what it means, to know what it is and why these things happen, let me take few more attempts to explain this further in detail. As I think these perceptions might vary but the truth(understood by me) associated with Mixed Alkali Effect would remain the same..

Network modifiers in glass system: A Tribute to all who made me what I am today

Dear Friends, This article is based on my understanding  on the modifiers and the way how our formed network changes. As these modifiers possess higher coordination number and lower valency as discussed in article 50, where we know the rules for glass formers in oxide glasses, I wish to correlate this concept with the methods for survival in this inferior society. The role of glass formers are really idealistic one. We can never be so pure/ in other words, the world doesn’t accept ideals, they need someone who can dance to their tunes. The one who makes you dance and the way how we look at the transparency dance to attain its stability is because of these modifiers. Glass as we know it is an amorphous solid with 3D network. This network has to be broken, that can be done by modification, that responsibility is taken care by network modifiers. I wish to list few interesting correlation on these modifiers on how they break our virtuousness.  The above periodic table indicates

Transitive Law - Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics - Holding Life Together

Good noon friends, The relationship between Mathematics - Physics - Chemistry (Pure Sciences) is come in hand together as all of them are interdependent. According to Mathematics, The transitive relation in equality, If A= B, and B= C, then C= A. This looks simple, but where is an example to it?? The example for most of the mathematical expressions are given by Physics, The Zeroth Law follows the above relation, Where it states that "When 2 systems are in contact with each other to another system, then all the three systems are in contact with one another" Which depicts the thermal equilibrium. On similar lines,we are always interdependent to ourselves,This Law reminds me 3 System that are in contact for human Life, Physical+Emotional+Mental. I have believe that if any of those 3 systems are corrupted, then the whole system is hanged, sometimes it may lead to a catastrophe. The above image clearly speaks on Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics. To know imagine this

Stress & Strain ..

Hi Friends, This week I was completely STRESSED up because of the National Science Day Celebrations .. Even then, I am STRAINING myself to write few co-relations in STRESS- STRAIN in life.. We often see people use the word STRESS, that too this month,(Financial Year End) makes all the employees feel the STRESS, Accounts branches do get Strained as they have to work a lot in this particular month. A Student(say class 10, 12 ) who gets STRESSED up in this month as to STRAIN a lot and study for his board exams.. STRESS_STRAIN .. who are they?? where they come from?? How far the concept is connected to us?? "STRESS causes STRAIN" The above quote is true, stress causes strain, but it depends how we take it.. To understand this, let me add up some more with a help of Stress-Strain diagram The above images co-relate the stress strain behavior. There are few things which we need to understand from the above diagram.. The linear portion in the stress
