Résumé :

μ-XANES is used to study the modifications in the alkali and alkaline-earth environments induced by the Na+/K+ ion-exchange process in various Na –silicate glasses. The results indicate that the ion-exchange process induces a shortening of the Na–O, Ca–O and Mg–O bond distances. The contraction of the Na–O, Ca–O and Mg–O coordination shell allows a better accommodation of the K+ cations in the glass network and thereby leads to partial relaxation of the stress developed by the Na+/K+ ion-exchange. Nevertheless, despite the stress relaxation process, the K+ environment in the ion-exchanged glass is not equivalent to the one in Na,K–silicate as-melted glasses. Hence, this study clearly shows that the ion swapping forced K+ cations to occupy smaller sites which are not achievable via the melt quench route for glasses with the same K amount.
