1
00:00:16,649 --> 00:00:19,953
Today, we're going to just start
by talking about what glass is

2
00:00:19,953 --> 00:00:21,254
and what its properties are.

3
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:26,626
But before we do, this came in--

4
00:00:26,626 --> 00:00:29,295
we've been talking
about defects, OK.

5
00:00:29,295 --> 00:00:35,101
And vacancies, point defects,
and then on Wednesday,

6
00:00:35,101 --> 00:00:36,236
we did line defects.

7
00:00:36,236 --> 00:00:37,003
Remember those?

8
00:00:37,003 --> 00:00:40,607
Right, and they create
these planes that come in.

9
00:00:40,607 --> 00:00:42,709
They're slip planes
that allow atoms

10
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:47,514
to slide across each other that
allows you to plasticly deform

11
00:00:47,514 --> 00:00:49,249
a material.

12
00:00:49,249 --> 00:00:54,621
And so OK, but with regards to
vacancies, I got this by email.

13
00:00:54,621 --> 00:00:56,856
I'm at the Heathrow
Airport in London,

14
00:00:56,856 --> 00:01:00,260
and even this aerial sculpture
has vacancy point defects

15
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:01,327
in its pattern.

16
00:01:01,327 --> 00:01:01,928
Look at that.

17
00:01:01,928 --> 00:01:03,163
There you go.

18
00:01:03,163 --> 00:01:04,431
And there you go.

19
00:01:04,431 --> 00:01:07,033
This is a beautiful
thing, right?

20
00:01:07,033 --> 00:01:07,834
Thank you, Sophia.

21
00:01:10,503 --> 00:01:14,174
And notice that she's looking
at it with her periodic table,

22
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:16,209
of course, right.

23
00:01:16,209 --> 00:01:18,411
That's a no-brainer.

24
00:01:18,411 --> 00:01:22,715
But even such structures
can't escape the fact

25
00:01:22,715 --> 00:01:25,718
that you always have vacancies.

26
00:01:25,718 --> 00:01:26,386
That was cool.

27
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:27,554
OK, now where were we?

28
00:01:27,554 --> 00:01:30,056
Right, so we're going
to talk about glass.

29
00:01:30,056 --> 00:01:32,826
Now, this is glass,
and I'll start

30
00:01:32,826 --> 00:01:34,561
with just how cool glass is.

31
00:01:34,561 --> 00:01:36,763
But this is also not just--

32
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:39,566
this isn't all that glass is.

33
00:01:39,566 --> 00:01:42,035
And I want to make
sure we get that

34
00:01:42,035 --> 00:01:43,169
by the end of this lecture.

35
00:01:43,169 --> 00:01:45,738
This is not the only
thing that glass means.

36
00:01:45,738 --> 00:01:46,940
But this is what we think of.

37
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,776
So here's a really cool video.

38
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:50,810
OK.

39
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:53,346
No and yes.

40
00:01:53,346 --> 00:01:54,013
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]

41
00:01:54,013 --> 00:01:54,646
There they are.

42
00:01:54,646 --> 00:01:58,283
Look at that molten
[INAUDIBLE] and it's--

43
00:01:58,283 --> 00:01:59,452
oh, he just added something.

44
00:01:59,452 --> 00:02:00,753
We'll talk about that.

45
00:02:00,753 --> 00:02:01,888
Oh, and now he's mixing it.

46
00:02:01,888 --> 00:02:05,358
- Table man carefully mixes
this glass [INAUDIBLE]..

47
00:02:09,362 --> 00:02:11,397
Once the glass is blended
to his specifications--

48
00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:12,165
OK, there it is.

49
00:02:12,165 --> 00:02:13,533
Is it a liquid?

50
00:02:13,533 --> 00:02:14,501
Is it a solid?

51
00:02:14,501 --> 00:02:17,103
- [INAUDIBLE]

52
00:02:17,103 --> 00:02:20,707
And then he just puts it
through a little roller.

53
00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:23,176
- That will mash that
glass flat [INAUDIBLE]

54
00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:27,447
Mash it flat, and there
is your piece of glass.

55
00:02:27,447 --> 00:02:28,848
OK, and we'll see another one.

56
00:02:28,848 --> 00:02:32,218
I'll show you another
video of a larger scale--

57
00:02:32,218 --> 00:02:33,286
don't keep going.

58
00:02:33,286 --> 00:02:33,853
[END PLAYBACK]

59
00:02:33,853 --> 00:02:34,721
OK.

60
00:02:34,721 --> 00:02:36,789
So what was it that
they were just mixing?

61
00:02:36,789 --> 00:02:40,093
Why does it have the
properties that it has?

62
00:02:40,093 --> 00:02:41,895
Why can they just
take this thing

63
00:02:41,895 --> 00:02:43,897
that's not really
liquid and not really

64
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:47,500
solid, it's some viscous
thing, and roll it through,

65
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:50,336
and then it comes into
this really beautiful sheet

66
00:02:50,336 --> 00:02:53,239
that we all call glass?

67
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:56,910
And it all has to do with
what I showed you before,

68
00:02:56,910 --> 00:02:58,311
and what we've
been talking about,

69
00:02:58,311 --> 00:03:02,315
which is order or disorder.

70
00:03:02,315 --> 00:03:03,783
And so we did this already.

71
00:03:03,783 --> 00:03:07,187
We covered, OK, a solid that
which is dimensionally stable.

72
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:08,154
That's cool.

73
00:03:08,154 --> 00:03:15,228
Classification, oh ordered,
regular, long-range order, BCC,

74
00:03:15,228 --> 00:03:16,696
FCC.

75
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:17,597
All right.

76
00:03:17,597 --> 00:03:18,698
OK, long-range.

77
00:03:18,698 --> 00:03:21,301
Remember, we said it just keeps
going and going and going.

78
00:03:21,301 --> 00:03:23,670
And then we say, well, it
may be once in a while,

79
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:28,508
once every 1,000, 10,000,
100,000, there's a vacancy.

80
00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:30,176
OK, so we started
messing with it.

81
00:03:30,176 --> 00:03:33,780
But it still had this long
range-- gesundheit-- order.

82
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:35,648
And so they were
called crystalline,

83
00:03:35,648 --> 00:03:39,185
crystalline with defects,
maybe, but still crystalline.

84
00:03:39,185 --> 00:03:41,187
That is not what glass is.

85
00:03:41,187 --> 00:03:43,856
Glass is disordered.

86
00:03:43,856 --> 00:03:47,060
And so that is the topic of
today and next Wednesday.

87
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:50,597
What happens when you go
from an ordered structure,

88
00:03:50,597 --> 00:03:53,933
like this, oh maybe
it's got some--

89
00:03:53,933 --> 00:03:57,036
oh these are 2D defects,
right, the whole things

90
00:03:57,036 --> 00:03:58,638
are kind of-- so it's
poly crystalline,

91
00:03:58,638 --> 00:04:00,106
but it's still kind
of crystalline,

92
00:04:00,106 --> 00:04:03,443
and it's very ordered,
to totally disordered.

93
00:04:03,443 --> 00:04:03,943
All right.

94
00:04:03,943 --> 00:04:09,449
And so a disordered solid
looks random, certainly

95
00:04:09,449 --> 00:04:11,351
over long range.

96
00:04:11,351 --> 00:04:14,020
There might be
short range order.

97
00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:16,656
There might be some short range
order, but over a long range,

98
00:04:16,656 --> 00:04:18,625
it's going to be disordered.

99
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:19,826
It's going to look random.

100
00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:23,796
This is called amorphous
as opposed to crystalline.

101
00:04:23,796 --> 00:04:27,934
This is also called glass.

102
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:29,369
This is also called glass.

103
00:04:29,369 --> 00:04:32,972
So one of the first things we've
got, this is really important,

104
00:04:32,972 --> 00:04:37,076
glass is not just the window,
or the thing on your phone

105
00:04:37,076 --> 00:04:38,778
that keeps cracking.

106
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:39,712
No.

107
00:04:39,712 --> 00:04:44,584
Glass is equal to
an amorphous solid.

108
00:04:49,522 --> 00:04:52,158
Well, so it's bigger.

109
00:04:52,158 --> 00:04:53,693
It's broader.

110
00:04:53,693 --> 00:04:54,761
It's bolder.

111
00:04:54,761 --> 00:04:58,064
You can have glass
metal, metallic glass.

112
00:04:58,064 --> 00:05:00,133
It's a thing.

113
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:05,104
Any solid that doesn't have long
range order that's amorphous

114
00:05:05,104 --> 00:05:06,506
is a glass.

115
00:05:06,506 --> 00:05:07,974
OK.

116
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:14,280
Now in this class we
will use SiO2 as--

117
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,115
so what we're going
to do is we're

118
00:05:16,115 --> 00:05:19,185
going to talk about
glass with an example.

119
00:05:19,185 --> 00:05:22,488
We will use the
kind that winds up

120
00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:24,657
being in the
windshield of your car

121
00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:26,959
or in the window of your
house and on your phone.

122
00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:29,095
And that is called quartz.

123
00:05:29,095 --> 00:05:30,463
So the chemistry
that we're going

124
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:39,672
to use is quartz, or
SiO2 OK, and what we're

125
00:05:39,672 --> 00:05:43,576
going to talk about is
how processing effects

126
00:05:43,576 --> 00:05:45,211
that chemistry, affects the--

127
00:05:45,211 --> 00:05:47,213
sorry, the solid that forms.

128
00:05:47,213 --> 00:05:48,348
So processing.

129
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:52,151
And there is lots of
processing parameters

130
00:05:52,151 --> 00:05:53,486
and we can talk about.

131
00:05:53,486 --> 00:05:57,256
What I want to focus on
today is the cooling,

132
00:05:57,256 --> 00:05:58,891
the cooling rate in particular.

133
00:05:58,891 --> 00:06:01,761
So that's going to
be the focus today.

134
00:06:01,761 --> 00:06:03,663
We'll talk about the chemistry.

135
00:06:03,663 --> 00:06:04,997
We'll talk about the processing.

136
00:06:04,997 --> 00:06:06,399
And we'll talk
about how those go

137
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:08,835
back and forth to create glass.

138
00:06:11,504 --> 00:06:14,207
Now, OK, what am
I starting with?

139
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:17,276
I'm starting with a crystal.

140
00:06:17,276 --> 00:06:19,612
This is quartz.

141
00:06:19,612 --> 00:06:20,947
This is how you see quartz.

142
00:06:20,947 --> 00:06:24,784
Now, quartz is this
beautiful, beautiful crystal.

143
00:06:24,784 --> 00:06:26,119
And it is ordered.

144
00:06:26,119 --> 00:06:28,054
That's why I'm saying
the word crystal.

145
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:29,889
I'm not saying the word glass.

146
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:30,390
All right.

147
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:32,492
This is an ordered solid.

148
00:06:32,492 --> 00:06:33,493
It's not cubic.

149
00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:35,261
So it's not one of the
ones we've learned.

150
00:06:35,261 --> 00:06:38,998
But it's still
periodically repeating.

151
00:06:38,998 --> 00:06:39,532
All right.

152
00:06:39,532 --> 00:06:40,500
And so it's a crystal.

153
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:41,601
It's got long range order.

154
00:06:41,601 --> 00:06:42,568
It's called quartz.

155
00:06:42,568 --> 00:06:45,738
It's SiO2 So I'm
going to hand this out

156
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:47,607
so you can just see it.

157
00:06:47,607 --> 00:06:50,176
And that's what I want to
start, I want to talk about,

158
00:06:50,176 --> 00:06:53,880
is that crystal,
OK, because that's

159
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:59,652
what we're going to be messing
up and creating short-range.

160
00:06:59,652 --> 00:07:03,122
We're going to go from
long-range to short-range.

161
00:07:03,122 --> 00:07:04,157
OK, so what is it?

162
00:07:04,157 --> 00:07:06,292
Well, let's see.

163
00:07:06,292 --> 00:07:08,428
In this class, how do we
think about chemistry?

164
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:11,364
Well you can think about
it now in different ways.

165
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:13,399
Let's pick Lewis.

166
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:14,434
All right, OK.

167
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:21,007
So I say, OK, I got
silicon, silicon, silicon,

168
00:07:21,007 --> 00:07:25,311
if I think about
silicon as it's Lewis,

169
00:07:25,311 --> 00:07:28,448
you know, dots,
then it's got four.

170
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:34,053
It's got four valence
electrons ready to bond.

171
00:07:34,053 --> 00:07:37,089
You can see that now if I
have oxygen, what does oxygen

172
00:07:37,089 --> 00:07:37,590
look like?

173
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:40,393
So oxygen has six.

174
00:07:40,393 --> 00:07:42,328
I'm going to put
those like that.

175
00:07:42,328 --> 00:07:44,130
So oxygen has six.

176
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:46,265
Maybe it's got a
couple lone pairs,

177
00:07:46,265 --> 00:07:49,969
which has six valence
electrons, not four.

178
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:52,705
Now so if I had--

179
00:07:52,705 --> 00:07:55,508
so when you look at this,
you think, you know,

180
00:07:55,508 --> 00:08:00,713
silicon looks like it wants
four bonds when you look at it.

181
00:08:00,713 --> 00:08:03,483
And in fact, we know that
the crystal in silicon

182
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:06,052
as we've talked
about-- gesundheit--

183
00:08:06,052 --> 00:08:08,554
is tetrahedral because of this.

184
00:08:08,554 --> 00:08:09,555
Right, it's tetrahedral.

185
00:08:09,555 --> 00:08:14,060
Remember, it's a two atom
basis FCC lattice which is

186
00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:16,562
is diamond.

187
00:08:16,562 --> 00:08:18,764
But what if I just
look at it with oxygen,

188
00:08:18,764 --> 00:08:21,000
come at this with oxygen
and say, well, you know,

189
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,469
I want to have four bonds.

190
00:08:23,469 --> 00:08:27,240
One way to do that would
be to add four oxygens.

191
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,274
So what if I did this?

192
00:08:28,274 --> 00:08:32,010
What if I did
silicon and oxygen,

193
00:08:32,010 --> 00:08:37,283
and I did plus 4
times the oxygen.

194
00:08:37,283 --> 00:08:39,352
Well, then you could
see, what could you do?

195
00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:45,424
You could do this, OK, and
this and this and this.

196
00:08:45,424 --> 00:08:48,361
But now, OK, the oxygens,
how would they be left?

197
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:49,829
They'd be left like this.

198
00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:56,969
And you'll see why I'm focusing
on this SiO4 group in a minute.

199
00:08:56,969 --> 00:08:58,271
That's what I got.

200
00:08:58,271 --> 00:09:02,008
Now, OK, if I go back in
and I put my Lewis cap on,

201
00:09:02,008 --> 00:09:05,845
silicon is very happy
it's obeying octet,

202
00:09:05,845 --> 00:09:08,581
but the oxygens
aren't quite there.

203
00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:13,386
So they need one more
electron, one more electron.

204
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:16,656
I'm going to make it a little
bolder because I've added it.

205
00:09:16,656 --> 00:09:17,156
All right.

206
00:09:17,156 --> 00:09:19,458
So I've added an electron
to each of those.

207
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:24,196
So if I had SiO4,
and I added 4--

208
00:09:24,196 --> 00:09:30,403
if I had SiO4, and I added
four electrons to it,

209
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:33,372
I get a really nice
stable Lewis structure.

210
00:09:33,372 --> 00:09:34,340
Right.

211
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:36,242
That's called a silicate.

212
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:37,376
That's a silicate group.

213
00:09:41,013 --> 00:09:41,948
SiO4.

214
00:09:41,948 --> 00:09:44,150
And I need those four
electrons, as you

215
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:46,786
can see just from looking
at the simple dot diagram.

216
00:09:46,786 --> 00:09:49,689
I need those four
electrons to make it happy.

217
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:50,856
OK.

218
00:09:50,856 --> 00:09:52,825
By the way, just
speaking of naming, OK,

219
00:09:52,825 --> 00:09:58,064
so let's see silicate,
right silica, SiO2,

220
00:09:58,064 --> 00:10:01,601
we can talk about, so what we do
is when we have oxide, silicon

221
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:05,104
oxide, just in terms
of naming, you know,

222
00:10:05,104 --> 00:10:10,543
like if you have an oxide,
often, you kind of add an a,

223
00:10:10,543 --> 00:10:16,882
right, so like silicon went
from SiO2, we call it silica.

224
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:27,560
So in Al2O3, let's see, Al2O3
is also an oxide, right?

225
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,295
And so we called that--
this is something

226
00:10:29,295 --> 00:10:32,531
we've already done, alumina.

227
00:10:32,531 --> 00:10:37,003
All right, and so on,
except for sometimes.

228
00:10:37,003 --> 00:10:40,072
And so sometimes,
like for example,

229
00:10:40,072 --> 00:10:47,246
if you do calcium oxide,
well, that's called lime.

230
00:10:47,246 --> 00:10:51,017
It's called lime, calcium oxide.

231
00:10:51,017 --> 00:10:52,318
Well, what about sodium?

232
00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:55,388
Well, sodium, if you
do sodium, you're

233
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:58,924
going to need it I'm
assuming the oxygen might

234
00:10:58,924 --> 00:11:00,660
break off and become to--

235
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:02,595
so you've got to think
about the charge again.

236
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:06,966
So Na20 would be the
one that works there.

237
00:11:06,966 --> 00:11:10,703
All right, and this
is sodium oxide.

238
00:11:10,703 --> 00:11:16,909
But see, sodium
oxide, but sometimes,

239
00:11:16,909 --> 00:11:20,446
it's called soda, because--

240
00:11:20,446 --> 00:11:26,118
and this is an extra step,
because soda comes from calcium

241
00:11:26,118 --> 00:11:26,952
from--

242
00:11:26,952 --> 00:11:31,590
let's see, Na2O from--

243
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:32,391
how do you make it?

244
00:11:32,391 --> 00:11:42,101
You make it from Na2CO3, which
is actually what is soda?

245
00:11:42,101 --> 00:11:44,270
Sodium carbonate.

246
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:50,476
But because we make Na2O,
that oxide from something

247
00:11:50,476 --> 00:11:54,447
that we call soda, sometimes
people just call in Na2O soda,

248
00:11:54,447 --> 00:11:55,681
it's not.

249
00:11:55,681 --> 00:11:56,782
But sometimes you see that.

250
00:11:56,782 --> 00:11:59,251
So I just want to kind of make
you aware some of these names.

251
00:11:59,251 --> 00:12:00,352
Why am I writing it there?

252
00:12:00,352 --> 00:12:02,121
We're coming back to that.

253
00:12:02,121 --> 00:12:04,156
We're going to use those later.

254
00:12:04,156 --> 00:12:06,358
That's partly why I want
them to be on the board,

255
00:12:06,358 --> 00:12:08,828
and also tell you
about the names.

256
00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:11,163
So Na2O is sodium oxide.

257
00:12:11,163 --> 00:12:14,834
But it's made from sodium
carbonate, which is soda.

258
00:12:14,834 --> 00:12:16,001
OK.

259
00:12:16,001 --> 00:12:16,502
All right.

260
00:12:16,502 --> 00:12:18,604
Now, OK, now, here's the thing.

261
00:12:18,604 --> 00:12:22,108
That's an isolated molecule.

262
00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:23,776
Look at what I'm
passing around here.

263
00:12:23,776 --> 00:12:27,480
Oh, I wanted to tell
you about the window.

264
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,515
I almost forgot.

265
00:12:29,515 --> 00:12:32,685
In this class, in
this class, we don't

266
00:12:32,685 --> 00:12:36,188
go around saying that windows
are thicker on the bottom,

267
00:12:36,188 --> 00:12:40,359
than on the top, because
glass flows like a liquid.

268
00:12:40,359 --> 00:12:41,460
No.

269
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:43,395
That is not true.

270
00:12:43,395 --> 00:12:44,497
That is not true.

271
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:45,965
That may be true
down the street.

272
00:12:45,965 --> 00:12:48,834
That is not true here.

273
00:12:48,834 --> 00:12:50,603
We do the calculation.

274
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:57,943
Glass is not a liquid, not once
it's cooled down into a solid.

275
00:12:57,943 --> 00:12:58,844
It's a solid.

276
00:12:58,844 --> 00:13:03,349
If you do the calculation,
and it's a centimeter thick,

277
00:13:03,349 --> 00:13:07,853
a window pane, for
that piece of glass,

278
00:13:07,853 --> 00:13:10,523
under normal diffusion
and temperature conditions

279
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:12,558
for that piece of
glass at the bottom

280
00:13:12,558 --> 00:13:15,561
to become thicker
by one nanometer

281
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:18,297
would take 10 billion years.

282
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:19,665
OK.

283
00:13:19,665 --> 00:13:24,603
So no, it's not flowing under
its own weight in a window.

284
00:13:24,603 --> 00:13:25,538
What happened?

285
00:13:25,538 --> 00:13:27,573
What happened is
people didn't know

286
00:13:27,573 --> 00:13:30,709
how to make glass
uniformly way back when,

287
00:13:30,709 --> 00:13:35,748
and so they came out
un-uniform, non uniform.

288
00:13:35,748 --> 00:13:36,915
What's easier?

289
00:13:36,915 --> 00:13:38,884
To install it with
the heavier side

290
00:13:38,884 --> 00:13:42,087
up or the heavier side down?

291
00:13:42,087 --> 00:13:45,257
It's easier to install it if
it's heavier on the bottom.

292
00:13:45,257 --> 00:13:47,493
Class doesn't flow.

293
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:48,160
OK.

294
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,661
All right.

295
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:51,297
I wanted to get that done early.

296
00:13:51,297 --> 00:13:52,331
Yeah.

297
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:53,632
Oh, here we go.

298
00:13:53,632 --> 00:13:56,235
OK, so this is quartz.

299
00:13:56,235 --> 00:13:58,971
This is crystalline silica.

300
00:13:58,971 --> 00:14:04,977
This is groups of
SiO2, not SiO4.

301
00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:08,214
This was how we made
a molecule happy.

302
00:14:08,214 --> 00:14:15,487
But watch what happens now when
I go from that picture to SiO2.

303
00:14:15,487 --> 00:14:17,857
So now, I've got these--

304
00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:21,093
let's suppose I've got these
molecules of-- and I'm just

305
00:14:21,093 --> 00:14:25,931
going to not draw it 3D, but
I'm going to draw it 2D, and OK,

306
00:14:25,931 --> 00:14:26,432
there's--

307
00:14:26,432 --> 00:14:28,567
gesundheit-- there's
all these charges there.

308
00:14:28,567 --> 00:14:31,337
So now these are
these molecules,

309
00:14:31,337 --> 00:14:33,038
these silicate groups.

310
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:35,207
And they're kind of happy,
and they're on their own.

311
00:14:35,207 --> 00:14:38,611
But now look what happens here.

312
00:14:38,611 --> 00:14:42,848
See, those two oxygen, what
if instead of each of these

313
00:14:42,848 --> 00:14:46,051
being separate,
they came together?

314
00:14:46,051 --> 00:14:46,719
All right.

315
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:48,454
Well, you can see that--

316
00:14:48,454 --> 00:14:53,325
you see, if they shared
the same oxygen here,

317
00:14:53,325 --> 00:14:55,661
if they shared the
same oxygen here,

318
00:14:55,661 --> 00:14:58,697
then that oxygen is
actually now Lewis

319
00:14:58,697 --> 00:15:01,700
happy without the extra charge.

320
00:15:04,637 --> 00:15:14,246
So this oxygen,
this bridge, oxygen,

321
00:15:14,246 --> 00:15:25,190
doesn't need that extra
electron to be happy.

322
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:26,392
What does to be happy mean?

323
00:15:26,392 --> 00:15:28,627
Well, we know what that means.

324
00:15:28,627 --> 00:15:31,430
And if we're talking about Lewis
and speaking in those terms,

325
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:32,965
it means you've got your octet.

326
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:33,899
All right.

327
00:15:33,899 --> 00:15:35,501
So now the bridge oxygen--

328
00:15:35,501 --> 00:15:37,803
oh, but that is what
I'm passing around.

329
00:15:37,803 --> 00:15:40,205
That is what quartz is.

330
00:15:40,205 --> 00:15:42,908
It's all the oxygen is
happy without needing

331
00:15:42,908 --> 00:15:45,277
the extra charge, because
they are all bridged.

332
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:49,281
So that's what we've done.

333
00:15:49,281 --> 00:15:53,152
We've made silica
by thinking about it

334
00:15:53,152 --> 00:15:57,656
in terms of these
silicate groups, OK,

335
00:15:57,656 --> 00:15:59,591
and just bridging
them all together.

336
00:15:59,591 --> 00:16:00,859
And I can't draw it.

337
00:16:00,859 --> 00:16:03,262
But you have it
there, and 3D models

338
00:16:03,262 --> 00:16:05,931
are the easiest way to see it.

339
00:16:05,931 --> 00:16:10,869
And they all act as bridges
between silicate groups.

340
00:16:10,869 --> 00:16:11,637
OK.

341
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:12,805
So why am I--

342
00:16:12,805 --> 00:16:14,807
why do I keep this
silicate group?

343
00:16:14,807 --> 00:16:16,909
So a lot of times if you
look up the structure,

344
00:16:16,909 --> 00:16:18,277
and this is the
3D structure, you

345
00:16:18,277 --> 00:16:21,780
see every single
oxygen is a bridge.

346
00:16:21,780 --> 00:16:24,650
Every single oxygen is a bridge.

347
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:26,685
And it's nice to think
about it in terms

348
00:16:26,685 --> 00:16:28,053
of the silicate groups.

349
00:16:28,053 --> 00:16:28,554
Why?

350
00:16:28,554 --> 00:16:31,123
Why did I start with that?

351
00:16:31,123 --> 00:16:35,527
I started with that because
these groups are very strong.

352
00:16:35,527 --> 00:16:38,063
They stay together.

353
00:16:38,063 --> 00:16:41,567
And they kind of act as
building blocks for the glass

354
00:16:41,567 --> 00:16:42,968
and for the quartz.

355
00:16:42,968 --> 00:16:45,604
And you now know those
are two different things,

356
00:16:45,604 --> 00:16:49,742
quartz is silicate groups
ordered in a crystal.

357
00:16:49,742 --> 00:16:51,844
Glass is what we're
going to get to.

358
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:54,580
It's when they're disordered.

359
00:16:54,580 --> 00:16:55,247
OK.

360
00:16:55,247 --> 00:16:56,281
And why is that?

361
00:16:56,281 --> 00:17:00,152
Well, because these oxygen, you
see the silica, the tetrahedron

362
00:17:00,152 --> 00:17:03,255
with the silicon atom and
those oxygens is pretty robust.

363
00:17:03,255 --> 00:17:05,223
But the bond between
the oxygens is-- well,

364
00:17:05,223 --> 00:17:08,426
there's a whole lot of
rotation that can happen here.

365
00:17:08,426 --> 00:17:10,396
You see that?

366
00:17:10,396 --> 00:17:12,964
That thing can rotate around.

367
00:17:12,964 --> 00:17:14,665
So that's a good
way to picture this.

368
00:17:14,665 --> 00:17:16,801
That's a good way
to picture quartz

369
00:17:16,801 --> 00:17:19,771
is these silicate groups
that are bonded together

370
00:17:19,771 --> 00:17:21,740
through these bridge
oxygens, but they

371
00:17:21,740 --> 00:17:25,077
have a lot of rotational
and distortion

372
00:17:25,077 --> 00:17:31,250
relative one with respect to
one another, that is possible.

373
00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:35,621
So I take those
silicate groups, OK.

374
00:17:35,621 --> 00:17:38,924
Here they are up top, and
I bring them together,

375
00:17:38,924 --> 00:17:40,526
and I make a perfect crystal.

376
00:17:40,526 --> 00:17:41,960
That is what's
being passed around.

377
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,930
But look, because there's
so much possibility

378
00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:48,867
for rotation and distortion,
maybe that didn't happen.

379
00:17:48,867 --> 00:17:51,537
Maybe as they start to form
or they find each other,

380
00:17:51,537 --> 00:17:56,442
and they start bridging, maybe
they didn't quite make it.

381
00:17:56,442 --> 00:18:00,212
And you can imagine these
things are kind of bulky groups

382
00:18:00,212 --> 00:18:02,448
coming together and
twisting around.

383
00:18:02,448 --> 00:18:06,752
You missed the mark, it
might be hard to get back.

384
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:10,856
So how does one
happen over the other?

385
00:18:10,856 --> 00:18:12,357
All right, that's the crystal.

386
00:18:12,357 --> 00:18:15,794
That's the not
crystal, the glass.

387
00:18:15,794 --> 00:18:17,629
And it depends on
a couple of things.

388
00:18:17,629 --> 00:18:19,364
And that's what I want
to talk about next.

389
00:18:19,364 --> 00:18:22,901
It depends on the
temperature and the cooling.

390
00:18:22,901 --> 00:18:25,404
Depends on the temperature
and the cooling.

391
00:18:25,404 --> 00:18:27,272
So how does temperature come in?

392
00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:30,809
So temperature comes
in because temperature

393
00:18:30,809 --> 00:18:32,478
makes everything vibrate.

394
00:18:32,478 --> 00:18:32,978
Right.

395
00:18:32,978 --> 00:18:37,783
It gives these atoms and
these groups kinetic energy.

396
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:38,283
OK.

397
00:18:38,283 --> 00:18:39,284
So let's look at that.

398
00:18:39,284 --> 00:18:46,091
So if we were to plot,
for example, temperature

399
00:18:46,091 --> 00:18:50,229
versus the volume
per mole, so this is,

400
00:18:50,229 --> 00:18:55,601
you know, for a given number
of these atoms, much volume

401
00:18:55,601 --> 00:18:56,168
do they take?

402
00:18:56,168 --> 00:18:59,438
Well, you can imagine that
that is actually related

403
00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:01,440
to how much energy they have.

404
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:01,940
All right.

405
00:19:01,940 --> 00:19:05,611
So like if I had like
a crystal, you know,

406
00:19:05,611 --> 00:19:07,646
maybe I'll start it here.

407
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:10,215
And if I have a
crystal, you know,

408
00:19:10,215 --> 00:19:12,151
and I increase the
temperature a little bit,

409
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,720
maybe they're
going to move more.

410
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,756
And as they move more,
they need more room.

411
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:21,827
And this is just a
simple-- you can just

412
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:25,063
think of like a
simple atom, connected

413
00:19:25,063 --> 00:19:27,399
to another on a spring.

414
00:19:27,399 --> 00:19:32,938
And more kinetic energy, more
temperature, it goes further.

415
00:19:32,938 --> 00:19:35,007
And now you're all thinking,
well, wait a second,

416
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:37,943
doesn't it go in as
far as it goes out?

417
00:19:37,943 --> 00:19:39,344
Why?

418
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:41,980
Does it need more volume?

419
00:19:41,980 --> 00:19:46,485
Well, that is because of what
we have already talked about,

420
00:19:46,485 --> 00:19:53,425
which is this energy curve
between two atoms, or two

421
00:19:53,425 --> 00:19:54,760
silicate groups.

422
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,896
This potential energy
curve that plots

423
00:19:57,896 --> 00:20:00,165
the energy between
those two groups

424
00:20:00,165 --> 00:20:02,834
and, say, the
distance between them,

425
00:20:02,834 --> 00:20:06,171
has something very
important about it,

426
00:20:06,171 --> 00:20:07,639
has something very important.

427
00:20:07,639 --> 00:20:08,607
This is the spring.

428
00:20:08,607 --> 00:20:14,846
OK, so I'm in there, and
I'm at T equals 0 here.

429
00:20:14,846 --> 00:20:17,449
That would be like T equals 0.

430
00:20:17,449 --> 00:20:20,085
The absolute ground
state, the place

431
00:20:20,085 --> 00:20:22,387
where everything is just
in its minimum energy,

432
00:20:22,387 --> 00:20:25,457
but now I start
making things move.

433
00:20:25,457 --> 00:20:27,559
All right, I put
kinetic energy into it,

434
00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:31,463
I increase the
temperature, what happens?

435
00:20:31,463 --> 00:20:33,332
The energy goes up.

436
00:20:33,332 --> 00:20:35,567
But look, it doesn't go up.

437
00:20:35,567 --> 00:20:36,602
It goes like this.

438
00:20:36,602 --> 00:20:39,938
The average-- I'm a little
bit higher in energy,

439
00:20:39,938 --> 00:20:42,074
right, I'm a little
bit higher in energy.

440
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:43,976
So where I am is
there, on average.

441
00:20:43,976 --> 00:20:47,145
Now I'm a little bit higher
in energy, and so where I am

442
00:20:47,145 --> 00:20:50,549
is there, and now I'm a little
bit higher, and where I am

443
00:20:50,549 --> 00:20:51,049
is there.

444
00:20:51,049 --> 00:20:55,420
This is what happens
to the average.

445
00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:57,456
That's why solids expand.

446
00:21:00,392 --> 00:21:04,263
It's because of the asymmetry
in this potential energy

447
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:07,266
curve, which we have
already talked about.

448
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:09,268
It's because of the asymmetry.

449
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:10,135
You see.

450
00:21:10,135 --> 00:21:14,973
This is going out differently
than this goes up.

451
00:21:14,973 --> 00:21:17,576
That's why you have
thermal expansion.

452
00:21:17,576 --> 00:21:18,277
All right.

453
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,812
Things are vibrating.

454
00:21:20,812 --> 00:21:23,749
But more often than not, they're
going to be farther apart.

455
00:21:23,749 --> 00:21:25,050
And so this happens.

456
00:21:25,050 --> 00:21:25,984
And so this happens.

457
00:21:25,984 --> 00:21:28,520
So we've just understood
this from an atomic--

458
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,756
so this would be like
if I had a crystal,

459
00:21:30,756 --> 00:21:34,960
and I'm going to save three
letters and write xtal.

460
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,362
That's so efficient.

461
00:21:37,362 --> 00:21:39,498
And then I keep going.

462
00:21:39,498 --> 00:21:41,166
And by the way,
the slope of this

463
00:21:41,166 --> 00:21:47,839
is called slope is called the
thermal expansion coefficient.

464
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:53,412
Thermal expansion.

465
00:21:53,412 --> 00:21:56,982
That is the definition of the
thermal expansion coefficient.

466
00:21:59,685 --> 00:22:00,886
Sometimes we use alpha.

467
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:05,023
That's the slope of this line.

468
00:22:05,023 --> 00:22:07,492
It's the volume per
mole divided by--

469
00:22:07,492 --> 00:22:09,394
over the temperature,
the change in the volume

470
00:22:09,394 --> 00:22:10,629
or the change in temperature.

471
00:22:10,629 --> 00:22:13,065
It's the thermal expansion
coefficient of the material.

472
00:22:13,065 --> 00:22:16,635
OK, so I'm adding
temperature, and I'm expanding

473
00:22:16,635 --> 00:22:19,404
and I'm expanding and
then I get to this point.

474
00:22:19,404 --> 00:22:21,340
I get to this point.

475
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:27,212
This point here is where
everything changes.

476
00:22:27,212 --> 00:22:29,147
Everything changes.

477
00:22:29,147 --> 00:22:32,851
That's the melting
point of the solid.

478
00:22:32,851 --> 00:22:34,186
That's the melting point.

479
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:38,690
Now at the melting
point, as we know,

480
00:22:38,690 --> 00:22:41,927
the whole thing goes
through a transition.

481
00:22:41,927 --> 00:22:46,465
It goes through a
phase transition.

482
00:22:46,465 --> 00:22:47,499
And it becomes a liquid.

483
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:52,537
And the thermal
expansion of the liquid

484
00:22:52,537 --> 00:22:55,674
is different than the
solid, because those, now,

485
00:22:55,674 --> 00:23:00,412
you think about those
molecules are not rigidly

486
00:23:00,412 --> 00:23:02,681
bonded to each other anymore.

487
00:23:02,681 --> 00:23:05,317
They're more weakly bonded,
and they're moving around

488
00:23:05,317 --> 00:23:07,886
with a lot of kinetic energy.

489
00:23:07,886 --> 00:23:09,588
And so when they get
more kinetic energy,

490
00:23:09,588 --> 00:23:11,289
they can expand even more.

491
00:23:11,289 --> 00:23:13,024
That's why those
slopes are different.

492
00:23:15,694 --> 00:23:18,764
But as we know, there's
also a big volume change.

493
00:23:18,764 --> 00:23:21,700
There's a sudden volume change.

494
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:25,036
In going from a
solid to a liquid,

495
00:23:25,036 --> 00:23:27,773
there's a sudden volume change.

496
00:23:27,773 --> 00:23:31,510
And it would be the same thing
if I went back the other way.

497
00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:34,446
Right, I'm cooling it
down and cooling it down,

498
00:23:34,446 --> 00:23:38,617
and all of a sudden, I get to
the solidification temperature

499
00:23:38,617 --> 00:23:43,755
of the material, and
I become a crystal.

500
00:23:43,755 --> 00:23:46,558
Except when I don't.

501
00:23:46,558 --> 00:23:48,760
Except when I don't.

502
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,731
And when I don't, that's
when I become a glass.

503
00:23:52,731 --> 00:23:54,433
And that's what we
have to talk about now

504
00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:58,336
is, how do we go from this
very simple picture of being

505
00:23:58,336 --> 00:23:59,471
a glass--

506
00:23:59,471 --> 00:24:02,808
being a liquid or being a
solid, a crystalline solid,

507
00:24:02,808 --> 00:24:07,479
how do we go from
that to being a glass?

508
00:24:07,479 --> 00:24:10,782
And to explain this,
to start, I want

509
00:24:10,782 --> 00:24:13,552
to show you something
really cool that can happen.

510
00:24:13,552 --> 00:24:15,654
That actually wasn't
an intentional pun.

511
00:24:15,654 --> 00:24:19,825
But it has to do with
cooling, and it's really cool,

512
00:24:19,825 --> 00:24:23,862
because sometimes, if
you cool a liquid down,

513
00:24:23,862 --> 00:24:26,398
it doesn't solidify right there.

514
00:24:26,398 --> 00:24:27,833
Then that's called
super cooling.

515
00:24:27,833 --> 00:24:30,502
So you can actually cool
the liquid down like that,

516
00:24:30,502 --> 00:24:31,770
and have it stay a liquid.

517
00:24:34,406 --> 00:24:36,274
That's called super cooling.

518
00:24:36,274 --> 00:24:43,348
By the way, so this is
called super cooling.

519
00:24:43,348 --> 00:24:46,818
By the way, you can
do that with water.

520
00:24:46,818 --> 00:24:49,354
And so I want to show you
like one of the coolest things

521
00:24:49,354 --> 00:24:50,489
you could do tonight.

522
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:51,623
It's a Friday night.

523
00:24:51,623 --> 00:24:53,425
You're going to
have guests over,

524
00:24:53,425 --> 00:24:55,760
or you'll be out at that
same restaurant that

525
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,829
knows about you,
because you asked them

526
00:24:57,829 --> 00:25:02,934
already all about the
candle and the oxygen.

527
00:25:02,934 --> 00:25:04,803
And you always come with
your periodic table,

528
00:25:04,803 --> 00:25:07,472
and this time, you sit down
and you say I don't want water.

529
00:25:07,472 --> 00:25:08,874
Do you want
sparkling or regular?

530
00:25:08,874 --> 00:25:10,976
I want super cooled.

531
00:25:10,976 --> 00:25:12,577
This is what you're
going to get.

532
00:25:12,577 --> 00:25:13,879
This is what they'll bring you.

533
00:25:13,879 --> 00:25:14,379
They should.

534
00:25:14,379 --> 00:25:18,483
If it's a good restaurant, this
is what they would bring you.

535
00:25:18,483 --> 00:25:21,920
You know, so here's who is
supercooled water being poured.

536
00:25:24,623 --> 00:25:27,092
This is what you should
see in your glass.

537
00:25:27,092 --> 00:25:34,733
Now, that is a liquid
that is stable, for now,

538
00:25:34,733 --> 00:25:38,904
below its melting point, below
its solidification point.

539
00:25:38,904 --> 00:25:43,408
So what happens is as
soon as it hits the glass,

540
00:25:43,408 --> 00:25:48,113
it's like, whoa, wait a second,
I am supposed to be a crystal,

541
00:25:48,113 --> 00:25:50,215
and it immediately solidifies.

542
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:53,518
All right, so it
immediately went like this.

543
00:25:53,518 --> 00:25:56,121
Now, by the way, it's not that
hard to make supercooled water.

544
00:25:56,121 --> 00:25:59,624
If anybody's interested, I'd be
happy to tell you how to do it.

545
00:25:59,624 --> 00:26:01,660
You can't just put
bottles in a freezer.

546
00:26:01,660 --> 00:26:02,727
That won't work.

547
00:26:02,727 --> 00:26:06,197
But it's not that hard to do.

548
00:26:06,197 --> 00:26:13,038
Now, OK, back and
forth, melting point,

549
00:26:13,038 --> 00:26:16,341
supercooled-- oh,
it's playing again.

550
00:26:16,341 --> 00:26:17,509
And it starts freezing.

551
00:26:17,509 --> 00:26:20,712
You can also take a bottle
of supercooled water

552
00:26:20,712 --> 00:26:21,613
and just go like this.

553
00:26:21,613 --> 00:26:23,782
It's liquid inside
and just tap it,

554
00:26:23,782 --> 00:26:25,884
and the whole thing
freezes instantly.

555
00:26:25,884 --> 00:26:27,185
It's really cool.

556
00:26:27,185 --> 00:26:28,820
It's really cool.

557
00:26:28,820 --> 00:26:29,321
OK.

558
00:26:35,627 --> 00:26:36,661
OK.

559
00:26:36,661 --> 00:26:41,333
Now, why am I
talking about this?

560
00:26:41,333 --> 00:26:49,307
Because you can super
cool and go down.

561
00:26:49,307 --> 00:26:52,477
You could go below
that transition point

562
00:26:52,477 --> 00:26:55,213
and go and go down,
like I just did there

563
00:26:55,213 --> 00:27:02,087
and become a crystal right
away, but you could also not.

564
00:27:02,087 --> 00:27:06,992
You could also become a solid,
so you could become a crystal,

565
00:27:06,992 --> 00:27:09,227
or you could also
become a solid.

566
00:27:09,227 --> 00:27:12,430
And I'm going to need
another plot to do this.

567
00:27:12,430 --> 00:27:15,033
And you could become a
solid right where you were.

568
00:27:15,033 --> 00:27:18,870
You might not go down
to the crystal curve,

569
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:21,773
but you might start a new curve.

570
00:27:21,773 --> 00:27:25,243
And that will be a glass.

571
00:27:25,243 --> 00:27:27,846
And so we're going to draw this
again and show you a glass,

572
00:27:27,846 --> 00:27:32,350
but this is what we need is
this framework to understand

573
00:27:32,350 --> 00:27:33,184
when a glass forms.

574
00:27:33,184 --> 00:27:35,553
So this was our picture,
crystalline, crystalline,

575
00:27:35,553 --> 00:27:38,690
glass, amorphous equals glass.

576
00:27:38,690 --> 00:27:40,659
When does it form?

577
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:42,327
Now I think the best--

578
00:27:42,327 --> 00:27:43,795
I'll show you that
one in a second.

579
00:27:43,795 --> 00:27:46,264
I think the best way
to think about it

580
00:27:46,264 --> 00:27:49,601
is let's draw the
plot again, and I

581
00:27:49,601 --> 00:27:51,102
think the best way
to think about it

582
00:27:51,102 --> 00:28:00,245
is an analogy that has been
used before, and let's see--

583
00:28:00,245 --> 00:28:02,947
and this is temperature.

584
00:28:02,947 --> 00:28:07,519
This is volume per mole.

585
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:10,789
By the way, that could
be energy, or enthalpy.

586
00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:14,759
Yeah, because as the atoms
aren't packed in as well,

587
00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:17,262
we know this, right, as
they're not packed in as well,

588
00:28:17,262 --> 00:28:20,565
they're also going to
be higher in energy.

589
00:28:20,565 --> 00:28:22,267
Right, the bonding
won't be as strong.

590
00:28:24,769 --> 00:28:27,505
But I think that one of the
best analogies to think about

591
00:28:27,505 --> 00:28:30,508
is so I'm coming in as a
liquid, so I'm now a liquid.

592
00:28:33,278 --> 00:28:39,484
And here's my melting point for
the crystal, for the crystal.

593
00:28:39,484 --> 00:28:41,853
But I went past it.

594
00:28:41,853 --> 00:28:45,490
And I went past it,
and now, instead of--

595
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:47,525
I'm just going to
draw this out here.

596
00:28:47,525 --> 00:28:48,359
There's the crystal.

597
00:28:50,962 --> 00:28:57,902
Instead of going down to
become a crystal, suddenly

598
00:28:57,902 --> 00:29:00,772
or super cooling, and
then becoming a crystal,

599
00:29:00,772 --> 00:29:06,411
no, I super cool, and then
I just become a solid.

600
00:29:06,411 --> 00:29:09,447
And then I just become a solid.

601
00:29:09,447 --> 00:29:10,415
OK.

602
00:29:10,415 --> 00:29:13,518
Now that-- this is a glass.

603
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:19,457
You know that it's a solid.

604
00:29:19,457 --> 00:29:22,393
It's got the same
slope as the crystal.

605
00:29:22,393 --> 00:29:23,895
The thermal expansion
of this thing

606
00:29:23,895 --> 00:29:26,131
is the same as the
crystal or very similar.

607
00:29:29,234 --> 00:29:32,837
So that's enough to tell
you this is a solid, right?

608
00:29:32,837 --> 00:29:34,973
It should be a good indicator.

609
00:29:34,973 --> 00:29:39,310
It should have been a nice
straight line just for now.

610
00:29:39,310 --> 00:29:40,278
OK.

611
00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:45,049
Yeah, but it didn't get--

612
00:29:45,049 --> 00:29:49,254
those silicate blocks
didn't find the lattice.

613
00:29:49,254 --> 00:29:51,289
They didn't find the lattice.

614
00:29:51,289 --> 00:29:54,459
As you're cool-- here,
they've got all this freedom.

615
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:57,629
I mean, they're a
liquid, silicate, happy.

616
00:29:57,629 --> 00:29:59,197
Maybe it's an even
higher temperature,

617
00:29:59,197 --> 00:30:01,633
and the silicons are even
dissociated from the oxygen.

618
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:03,802
Let's just assume they're
in these silicate groups,

619
00:30:03,802 --> 00:30:09,007
and they're floating around in a
liquid, and I start cooling it.

620
00:30:09,007 --> 00:30:11,042
I think one of the best
analogies that I've heard

621
00:30:11,042 --> 00:30:13,912
is that of musical chairs.

622
00:30:13,912 --> 00:30:16,314
How many of you have
played musical chairs?

623
00:30:16,314 --> 00:30:18,349
OK, you've got to
fix this tonight.

624
00:30:18,349 --> 00:30:20,151
For those of you who
didn't raise your hand,

625
00:30:20,151 --> 00:30:23,354
that's going on
the menu tonight,

626
00:30:23,354 --> 00:30:26,825
because it's a really fun game.

627
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:28,459
With supercooled
water, of course.

628
00:30:31,196 --> 00:30:34,799
You line up some chairs, and
you get around in a group

629
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:38,369
and you walk around
it as the music plays

630
00:30:38,369 --> 00:30:44,108
and then the music stops and
everybody has to find a chair,

631
00:30:44,108 --> 00:30:46,311
but there's a chair missing.

632
00:30:46,311 --> 00:30:49,848
So you've got to go fast, or
you might not get to a chair.

633
00:30:53,952 --> 00:30:58,489
Well, you see the silicate,
let's put it below here,

634
00:30:58,489 --> 00:31:00,058
the silicates are you.

635
00:31:00,058 --> 00:31:02,360
You are the silicates.

636
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,464
People equals silicate.

637
00:31:09,701 --> 00:31:18,276
And the chair equal
lattice sites.

638
00:31:22,313 --> 00:31:23,915
And now you can really feel it.

639
00:31:23,915 --> 00:31:27,218
You can really feel it, because
the speed around the chairs.

640
00:31:27,218 --> 00:31:29,220
How fast are you moving?

641
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:29,988
Right.

642
00:31:29,988 --> 00:31:37,662
So the speed, well, if it's
speed around the chair,

643
00:31:37,662 --> 00:31:45,570
OK, if that's fast, then
it's, you know, high mobility,

644
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:48,640
so let's see, speed around
chair, let's do this.

645
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:58,049
High mobility, maybe
you'd find, you know, find

646
00:31:58,049 --> 00:32:08,026
lattice sites easier, or
faster, at least, but see,

647
00:32:08,026 --> 00:32:12,263
if you have a high
1 over mobility--

648
00:32:12,263 --> 00:32:14,632
by the way, that's
also viscosity,

649
00:32:14,632 --> 00:32:18,336
if you have a high
1 over mobility.

650
00:32:18,336 --> 00:32:21,306
So if you have a high
viscosity, [INAUDIBLE]..

651
00:32:26,377 --> 00:32:32,550
High 1 over mobility, high
viscosity, then it's slow.

652
00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:36,721
And that's how you have a
higher chance of forming glass.

653
00:32:36,721 --> 00:32:43,294
So I'm going to talk about
what would make a glass form.

654
00:32:43,294 --> 00:32:45,897
If you're just
walking around slowly,

655
00:32:45,897 --> 00:32:47,865
like this, everyone
else is running,

656
00:32:47,865 --> 00:32:49,934
but maybe you're
all walking slowly,

657
00:32:49,934 --> 00:32:54,005
and now the music stops, and I'm
like, yeah, I'll take my time,

658
00:32:54,005 --> 00:32:58,242
it's going to be hard to get
to the open lattice site.

659
00:32:58,242 --> 00:33:00,178
I might just get stuck.

660
00:33:00,178 --> 00:33:01,045
OK, so what else?

661
00:33:01,045 --> 00:33:03,614
Well, OK, so how
about the arrangement?

662
00:33:03,614 --> 00:33:12,523
So the chair
arrangement, that has

663
00:33:12,523 --> 00:33:14,726
to do with the
crystal complexity.

664
00:33:18,696 --> 00:33:21,232
And you can imagine that
if the chairs are arranged

665
00:33:21,232 --> 00:33:23,534
in a straight line, and you're
going around the chairs,

666
00:33:23,534 --> 00:33:26,037
and it's is kind
of an easy loop,

667
00:33:26,037 --> 00:33:29,807
right, now I don't have
to concentrate too much

668
00:33:29,807 --> 00:33:32,076
on where I'm going, and it's
kind of-- there's nothing

669
00:33:32,076 --> 00:33:34,178
really blocking me,
I hope, but what

670
00:33:34,178 --> 00:33:38,850
if those chairs were arranged
in a really complicated way.

671
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:42,120
So how hard is it to
get around these chairs?

672
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,654
How hard is it to find them?

673
00:33:43,654 --> 00:33:46,190
How complex is the lattice?

674
00:33:46,190 --> 00:33:50,728
And you can imagine
that it is higher.

675
00:33:50,728 --> 00:33:54,065
So let's see.

676
00:33:54,065 --> 00:33:55,600
More-- I'll just draw an arrow.

677
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,603
Higher would lead to glass.

678
00:33:58,603 --> 00:34:00,471
OK, so it fits.

679
00:34:00,471 --> 00:34:04,942
Higher complexity
of the lattice.

680
00:34:04,942 --> 00:34:07,045
It might be harder
to find the lattice

681
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:09,514
sites in this musical chairs.

682
00:34:09,514 --> 00:34:12,050
OK, one more, and
I'll put it here,

683
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:14,118
so that it's close
by, because I've

684
00:34:14,118 --> 00:34:15,553
got no more room on that board.

685
00:34:18,356 --> 00:34:21,292
The third one is how
fast you stop the music.

686
00:34:21,292 --> 00:34:28,498
So this would be like
1, 2, and then 3.

687
00:34:28,498 --> 00:34:31,601
How fast do we stop music?

688
00:34:35,106 --> 00:34:35,706
OK.

689
00:34:35,706 --> 00:34:41,112
So you can imagine if
I, you know, if I slowly

690
00:34:41,112 --> 00:34:44,282
were playing musical chairs,
and I am walking around,

691
00:34:44,282 --> 00:34:48,753
and I slowly fade
the music, all right,

692
00:34:48,753 --> 00:34:50,420
well, then you got lots of time.

693
00:34:50,420 --> 00:34:53,491
You got lots of time, but
what if I just stop it.

694
00:34:53,491 --> 00:34:56,393
Now, everybody's scrambling.

695
00:34:56,393 --> 00:34:59,330
So how fast do you stop the
music is the cooling rate.

696
00:35:03,201 --> 00:35:06,003
It's how quickly you
cool this material.

697
00:35:06,003 --> 00:35:07,405
It's how fast you
stop the music,

698
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:12,777
and you can imagine that
if it's faster, faster,

699
00:35:12,777 --> 00:35:15,580
you are more likely
to form a glass.

700
00:35:19,083 --> 00:35:20,551
You're more likely
to form a glass,

701
00:35:20,551 --> 00:35:23,855
and so we go back
to our picture.

702
00:35:23,855 --> 00:35:26,791
Well, maybe I'll draw one over
here, because I need more room,

703
00:35:26,791 --> 00:35:31,662
and I don't want to
block what's there.

704
00:35:31,662 --> 00:35:35,032
We go back to our picture and
here it is, drawn out for you.

705
00:35:35,032 --> 00:35:37,869
You see that is--

706
00:35:37,869 --> 00:35:40,037
OK, there is the
liquid line, coming in,

707
00:35:40,037 --> 00:35:43,641
volume, OK, enthalpy,
visage, and we'll

708
00:35:43,641 --> 00:35:45,276
keep thinking
about it as volume.

709
00:35:45,276 --> 00:35:46,544
The liquid line comes in.

710
00:35:46,544 --> 00:35:47,512
You're cooling it down.

711
00:35:47,512 --> 00:35:49,080
There's the thermal expansion.

712
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,515
It's reducing,
reducing, and now I

713
00:35:50,515 --> 00:35:52,783
get to the melting temperature,
and I become a crystal.

714
00:35:52,783 --> 00:35:55,319
That's if it can
become a crystal,

715
00:35:55,319 --> 00:35:59,357
but all of these
factors, now, matter.

716
00:36:03,528 --> 00:36:09,433
The melting point of the crystal
is always the same number.

717
00:36:09,433 --> 00:36:10,601
It's always the same number.

718
00:36:10,601 --> 00:36:14,372
The melting point,
where the crystal melts,

719
00:36:14,372 --> 00:36:17,441
because the crystal
is always the same.

720
00:36:17,441 --> 00:36:17,942
Right.

721
00:36:17,942 --> 00:36:22,880
Now, where that melts is
always the same temperature.

722
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,916
But notice now,
what have I done?

723
00:36:24,916 --> 00:36:27,818
I've super cooled
the liquid down,

724
00:36:27,818 --> 00:36:31,489
and on a, I've got a glass
that looks like this.

725
00:36:31,489 --> 00:36:32,890
These are glasses.

726
00:36:32,890 --> 00:36:34,992
And on b, I've got a glass
that looks like that.

727
00:36:34,992 --> 00:36:37,762
Those are different.

728
00:36:37,762 --> 00:36:42,500
And they have different
solidification temperatures.

729
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:43,467
And what do we call it?

730
00:36:43,467 --> 00:36:45,670
We have a special
name for it, too.

731
00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:50,575
We have a special name for it,
because it's not crystallizing.

732
00:36:50,575 --> 00:36:53,511
Right, so if this is
the volume per mole,

733
00:36:53,511 --> 00:36:58,015
and this is the temperature,
it's not crystallizing.

734
00:36:58,015 --> 00:36:59,116
No.

735
00:36:59,116 --> 00:36:59,850
What is it doing?

736
00:36:59,850 --> 00:37:02,753
So that would be
the melting point.

737
00:37:02,753 --> 00:37:10,494
It is turning into a glass,
and so we call this the glass

738
00:37:10,494 --> 00:37:11,762
transition temperature.

739
00:37:11,762 --> 00:37:13,731
It's a glass transition.

740
00:37:13,731 --> 00:37:17,501
What that means is it
is still becoming--

741
00:37:17,501 --> 00:37:23,007
gesundheit-- a solid, but
it's an amorphous solid.

742
00:37:23,007 --> 00:37:25,676
It's not a crystal.

743
00:37:25,676 --> 00:37:27,345
Why did it become
an amorphous solid?

744
00:37:27,345 --> 00:37:31,482
Well, maybe I cooled
it really fast.

745
00:37:31,482 --> 00:37:35,553
Or maybe it's a really
complex structure, right?

746
00:37:35,553 --> 00:37:38,623
Or maybe the viscosity of
the material is very high,

747
00:37:38,623 --> 00:37:39,323
and it just--

748
00:37:39,323 --> 00:37:40,992
as I'm cooling it
down, it just couldn't

749
00:37:40,992 --> 00:37:44,428
find the crystal lattice,
which is all the way down here.

750
00:37:47,565 --> 00:37:50,801
And you can see from
this, that you know,

751
00:37:50,801 --> 00:37:54,038
imagine I take
the extreme limit,

752
00:37:54,038 --> 00:37:57,475
and I got my liquid
of my silicate groups,

753
00:37:57,475 --> 00:38:02,380
and right as I get below here,
I'm like you're all frozen.

754
00:38:02,380 --> 00:38:07,051
I'd literally-- I'd make a glass
right here, right up there,

755
00:38:07,051 --> 00:38:09,320
all right.

756
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,423
So I can make glasses that
are different from each other.

757
00:38:12,423 --> 00:38:16,894
And you can see that
the volume per mole

758
00:38:16,894 --> 00:38:19,363
is increasing as
I go up, and you

759
00:38:19,363 --> 00:38:22,500
can understand that, because
look, I took a glass.

760
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:23,234
I didn't let--

761
00:38:23,234 --> 00:38:24,502
I took a liquid here.

762
00:38:24,502 --> 00:38:25,670
This is the liquid.

763
00:38:25,670 --> 00:38:28,306
I didn't let any of it
find crystals sites.

764
00:38:28,306 --> 00:38:29,206
It's a liquid.

765
00:38:29,206 --> 00:38:32,009
But I said, ha, you're frozen.

766
00:38:32,009 --> 00:38:36,580
And it became frozen and stuck
at a high volume per mole.

767
00:38:36,580 --> 00:38:40,051
Because it's totally
random and amorphous.

768
00:38:40,051 --> 00:38:43,587
It's coming right from all
those random liquid degrees

769
00:38:43,587 --> 00:38:47,091
of freedom are just frozen in.

770
00:38:47,091 --> 00:38:50,461
Yeah, but now, I cool it slower.

771
00:38:50,461 --> 00:38:52,563
Maybe that's what
happened here, right?

772
00:38:52,563 --> 00:38:54,732
And I give it more time.

773
00:38:54,732 --> 00:38:58,803
And I give it more time to find
some of those lattice sites,

774
00:38:58,803 --> 00:39:03,307
and it finds some lattice sites,
but then it became a glass

775
00:39:03,307 --> 00:39:05,976
at this temperature, the
glass transition temperature,

776
00:39:05,976 --> 00:39:08,079
and everything
else is frozen in.

777
00:39:10,881 --> 00:39:13,718
So if I label this, so let's
label it the same as there,

778
00:39:13,718 --> 00:39:19,056
if I label a as this
one and b as this one,

779
00:39:19,056 --> 00:39:23,728
and this is the crystal,
nope, the crystal

780
00:39:23,728 --> 00:39:26,097
would have to go all
the way up to here.

781
00:39:26,097 --> 00:39:27,164
There we go.

782
00:39:27,164 --> 00:39:29,834
Right.

783
00:39:29,834 --> 00:39:33,204
So if that's a, that's glass
a, and that's glass b, then

784
00:39:33,204 --> 00:39:36,507
which one did I cool faster?

785
00:39:36,507 --> 00:39:38,509
Well, I had to call
this one slower--

786
00:39:38,509 --> 00:39:42,346
if all I changed between
them is cooling rates,

787
00:39:42,346 --> 00:39:46,050
then this one is cooled faster.

788
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:47,651
So let me write it here.

789
00:39:47,651 --> 00:39:53,924
a cooled slower than b.

790
00:39:57,161 --> 00:39:57,661
Right.

791
00:39:57,661 --> 00:40:00,030
Because I get-- and
that's this one here.

792
00:40:00,030 --> 00:40:01,565
How fast did you stop the music?

793
00:40:01,565 --> 00:40:02,066
Right.

794
00:40:02,066 --> 00:40:03,734
It's the cooling rate.

795
00:40:03,734 --> 00:40:09,807
OK, so this plot, this volume
versus temperature really

796
00:40:09,807 --> 00:40:13,811
allows us to understand how
glass forms, or at least we can

797
00:40:13,811 --> 00:40:20,217
plot, you know, what happened,
and then try to understand it.

798
00:40:20,217 --> 00:40:23,020
And if it did get all
the way to the crystal,

799
00:40:23,020 --> 00:40:26,891
then maybe it means that it's
not very viscous as a liquid,

800
00:40:26,891 --> 00:40:30,227
it doesn't have a
complex lattice site,

801
00:40:30,227 --> 00:40:35,499
and maybe it didn't even matter
how quickly-- oh, metals.

802
00:40:35,499 --> 00:40:40,104
But that's why it's hard to
make glasses out of metals.

803
00:40:40,104 --> 00:40:46,544
Because metals have an easy time
finding their lattice sites.

804
00:40:46,544 --> 00:40:50,548
Metals as liquids typically
aren't very viscous.

805
00:40:50,548 --> 00:40:55,052
And so even if you cool
it faster, it's got time.

806
00:40:55,052 --> 00:40:57,354
The musical chairs
of metals is easy.

807
00:40:57,354 --> 00:41:00,057
It's an easy game.

808
00:41:00,057 --> 00:41:02,893
That's why the silicates
never played musical chairs

809
00:41:02,893 --> 00:41:03,427
with metals.

810
00:41:06,063 --> 00:41:07,665
But I can still
do it, and the way

811
00:41:07,665 --> 00:41:09,366
you make a glass out
of a metal, the way

812
00:41:09,366 --> 00:41:12,436
you make a metallic glass,
which is a really cool material

813
00:41:12,436 --> 00:41:16,006
is you freeze it really quickly.

814
00:41:16,006 --> 00:41:19,176
You will lower the temperature
as quickly as you can,

815
00:41:19,176 --> 00:41:21,412
really, really fast, and
you freeze in the disorder,

816
00:41:21,412 --> 00:41:23,647
and you make a metallic glass.

817
00:41:23,647 --> 00:41:27,318
OK, so those are the two curves
I just talked about there.

818
00:41:27,318 --> 00:41:28,686
That's the glass curve.

819
00:41:28,686 --> 00:41:30,654
This would be the crystal curve.

820
00:41:30,654 --> 00:41:35,493
OK, two different
cooling rates on here.

821
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:40,464
OK, now, here's a
picture of float glass.

822
00:41:40,464 --> 00:41:41,966
This is the kind of glass--

823
00:41:41,966 --> 00:41:47,304
we're going to move from
understanding what glass is

824
00:41:47,304 --> 00:41:50,341
and understanding in terms of
this temperature versus volume

825
00:41:50,341 --> 00:41:54,712
plot and amorphous
solids, and we're

826
00:41:54,712 --> 00:41:56,146
going to move
towards understanding

827
00:41:56,146 --> 00:41:58,148
how to modify it,
how to control it,

828
00:41:58,148 --> 00:41:59,850
because we do a lot of that.

829
00:41:59,850 --> 00:42:01,385
Here's an example
of a factor right--

830
00:42:01,385 --> 00:42:01,886
I like this.

831
00:42:01,886 --> 00:42:02,753
This is flow glass.

832
00:42:02,753 --> 00:42:05,623
So this is like when you
buy, you know, your windows,

833
00:42:05,623 --> 00:42:07,291
or you know, a
lot of times, when

834
00:42:07,291 --> 00:42:10,995
you need a very clear,
beautiful piece of glass,

835
00:42:10,995 --> 00:42:13,197
you go up to very
high temperatures.

836
00:42:13,197 --> 00:42:15,432
All right, so you're
taking those silicates.

837
00:42:15,432 --> 00:42:16,600
You make them into a liquid.

838
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,969
Here he is, measuring
the temperature.

839
00:42:18,969 --> 00:42:21,572
I don't know what he's
doing actually, whatever.

840
00:42:21,572 --> 00:42:24,842
Oh and this isn't
showing up very well.

841
00:42:24,842 --> 00:42:26,777
And there's no
volume, so double--

842
00:42:26,777 --> 00:42:27,578
OK, there it is.

843
00:42:27,578 --> 00:42:29,013
So there's the liquid glass.

844
00:42:29,013 --> 00:42:30,214
Why is it called float glass?

845
00:42:30,214 --> 00:42:30,281

But because it floats on
top of another liquid.

850
00:42:39,523 --> 00:42:42,693
That's how you get the glass
because so incredibly smooth.

851

- And ensure uniformity--

852
00:42:44,028 --> 00:42:45,462
And there it is coming out.

853
00:42:45,462 --> 00:42:48,432
There's a nice wide piece
of glass coming out,

They can do kilometers
and kilometers

857
00:42:53,771 --> 00:42:56,340
per day of this float glass.

858
00:42:56,340 --> 00:42:58,742
You float it over molten tin.

859
00:42:58,742 --> 00:43:02,580
The tin acts like this
really nice smooth surface

860
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:04,949
that you put the
glass on top of.

861
00:43:04,949 --> 00:43:07,484
So one liquid on top of
another makes a very nice

00:43:07,484 --> 00:43:08,953
smooth interface.

00:43:08,953 --> 00:43:11,422
And what he talks about, which
is what I wanted to capture,

864
00:43:11,422 --> 00:43:13,591
is how important
that cooling is.

865
00:43:13,591 --> 00:43:16,961
So the line has to go
in a very particular way

866
00:43:16,961 --> 00:43:18,829
after it comes out,
as you cool it,

867
00:43:18,829 --> 00:43:21,699
and because it's all
about the cooling.

868
00:43:21,699 --> 00:43:26,804
As you come all the way back
down to here, room temperature,

869
00:43:26,804 --> 00:43:28,205
right, or as I--

870
00:43:28,205 --> 00:43:30,841
maybe as I went through
this transition,

871
00:43:30,841 --> 00:43:33,744
what's happening inside?

872
00:43:33,744 --> 00:43:36,113
Am I creating a lot of stress?

873
00:43:36,113 --> 00:43:37,615
We just learned about stress.

874
00:43:37,615 --> 00:43:38,882
Am I creating a lot of stress?

875
00:43:38,882 --> 00:43:41,852
Right, or is it going
to cool in a nice way?

876
00:43:41,852 --> 00:43:44,555
Are there going to
be cracks that form?

877
00:43:44,555 --> 00:43:47,391
So that is one of the
most important processing

878
00:43:47,391 --> 00:43:49,493
parameters.

879
00:43:49,493 --> 00:43:53,897
What we'll learn next week is
that chemistry is also a really

880
00:43:53,897 --> 00:43:55,132
important pressing parameter.

881
00:43:55,132 --> 00:43:57,301
And that's why you have
such good phone screens.

882
00:43:57,301 --> 00:44:00,137
Actually, you don't really,
because they always break,

883
00:44:00,137 --> 00:44:03,641
but they would break even more
if it weren't for chemistry.

884
00:44:03,641 --> 00:44:07,111
OK, but certainly cooling
speed is really important.

885
00:44:07,111 --> 00:44:08,712
So let's go to the--

886
00:44:08,712 --> 00:44:10,347
OK, now how--

887
00:44:10,347 --> 00:44:13,550
OK, if you look
at glass, remember

888
00:44:13,550 --> 00:44:17,488
I said that it's got order or no
order, crystalline, amorphous,

889
00:44:17,488 --> 00:44:19,356
crystalline, amorphous.

890
00:44:19,356 --> 00:44:21,091
How do you tell
which one you have?

891
00:44:21,091 --> 00:44:23,761
Who can tell me?

892
00:44:23,761 --> 00:44:27,264
You just learned about it.

893
00:44:27,264 --> 00:44:29,533
What do you do to see if
something is a crystal

894
00:44:29,533 --> 00:44:31,935
and which crystal it is?

895
00:44:31,935 --> 00:44:33,370
You shine x-rays on it.

896
00:44:33,370 --> 00:44:35,906
You go to your x-ray source,
and you just shine it on,

897
00:44:35,906 --> 00:44:38,208
and you measure
where it bounces off.

898
00:44:38,208 --> 00:44:41,545
But see-- so if you did that,
so if you look in the circle,

899
00:44:41,545 --> 00:44:43,881
they look the same.

900
00:44:43,881 --> 00:44:45,115
They look the same.

901
00:44:45,115 --> 00:44:46,216
That's crystalline.

902
00:44:46,216 --> 00:44:47,117
That's quartz.

903
00:44:47,117 --> 00:44:48,318
This is glass.

904
00:44:48,318 --> 00:44:50,554
Quartz, glass,
crystalline, amorphous.

905
00:44:50,554 --> 00:44:54,124
Right, but if you go to the long
range order, there isn't any.

906
00:44:54,124 --> 00:44:57,394
So if I shine x-rays, these are
two different types of solids.

907
00:44:57,394 --> 00:44:59,563
Think about it like DCC
FCC, but they're not.

908
00:44:59,563 --> 00:45:05,369
They're more complicated
of quartz or of silicates.

909
00:45:05,369 --> 00:45:07,771
This is what glass
would look like.

910
00:45:07,771 --> 00:45:09,073
Look at that.

911
00:45:09,073 --> 00:45:11,408
There's still like a little
bit of a peak there, but not

912
00:45:11,408 --> 00:45:14,344
really, right, because this
is from the short range order,

913
00:45:14,344 --> 00:45:18,048
but here's the important
part, which is where--

914
00:45:18,048 --> 00:45:20,284
you can still, even
though it's not

915
00:45:20,284 --> 00:45:22,953
that everything is where
you think it is, right,

916
00:45:22,953 --> 00:45:26,957
because it in a crystal, you
know everything's BCC or FCC.

917
00:45:26,957 --> 00:45:28,158
Every lattice is the same.

918
00:45:28,158 --> 00:45:29,626
You know you can
count on it for 10

919
00:45:29,626 --> 00:45:31,929
to the 20 second repetitions.

920
00:45:31,929 --> 00:45:32,863
Here you can't.

921
00:45:32,863 --> 00:45:35,733
You can still control
the properties.

922
00:45:35,733 --> 00:45:37,367
You can still control
the properties.

923
00:45:37,367 --> 00:45:41,105
So the properties can
be highly engineered.

924
00:45:41,105 --> 00:45:42,139
And here's an example.

925
00:45:45,976 --> 00:45:47,878
So these are different
types of glass.

926
00:45:47,878 --> 00:45:53,183
This is a glass cup, and
this is a glass bottle.

927
00:45:53,183 --> 00:45:55,419
And you might think,
it's just glass.

928
00:45:55,419 --> 00:45:57,454
No.

929
00:45:57,454 --> 00:45:58,522
It's not just glass.

930
00:45:58,522 --> 00:46:06,130
It's very complicated mixtures
of silica with other things.

931
00:46:06,130 --> 00:46:08,031
Notice, it's got soda.

932
00:46:08,031 --> 00:46:09,867
This is-- like I said,
this is not soda,

933
00:46:09,867 --> 00:46:12,002
but it comes from soda, so
it's called soda, sodium

934
00:46:12,002 --> 00:46:14,605
oxide in Na2O.

935
00:46:14,605 --> 00:46:20,244
Lime CaO, magnesia, alumina.

936
00:46:20,244 --> 00:46:23,547
All the glass-- you know, unless
you pay a whole lot of money

937
00:46:23,547 --> 00:46:28,886
for something made of quartz,
almost all the glass you buy

938
00:46:28,886 --> 00:46:31,221
has this kind of stuff in it.

939
00:46:31,221 --> 00:46:34,758
In fact, 90% of all glass
is called soda glass,

940
00:46:34,758 --> 00:46:35,592
because it's got--

941
00:46:35,592 --> 00:46:36,460
that's this one here.

942
00:46:36,460 --> 00:46:40,898
That's this cup, because
it's got sodium oxide in it.

943
00:46:40,898 --> 00:46:42,800
And the question is why.

944
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,235
Why do we put these
things in glass?

945
00:46:45,235 --> 00:46:47,938
Why did we used to
put lead in glass?

946
00:46:47,938 --> 00:46:51,041
In fact, the history is pretty--

947
00:46:51,041 --> 00:46:52,576
goes back thousands of years.

948
00:46:52,576 --> 00:46:53,477
And I found this.

949
00:46:53,477 --> 00:46:56,513
If you go to ancient
Rome, they made glass,

950
00:46:56,513 --> 00:46:58,515
and you can look at what
they made glass out of.

951
00:46:58,515 --> 00:47:00,150
They had a little
bit less silica.

952
00:47:00,150 --> 00:47:02,953
But they mixed all
sorts of things in.

953
00:47:02,953 --> 00:47:07,491
They did not have
3091 back then,

954
00:47:07,491 --> 00:47:10,294
so they didn't really
know why this was doing

955
00:47:10,294 --> 00:47:13,864
something useful, but it was.

956
00:47:13,864 --> 00:47:16,834
Now we mix all these oxides,
remember I wrote some of them

957
00:47:16,834 --> 00:47:19,436
up here, lime, soda.

958
00:47:19,436 --> 00:47:22,840
We mix those in, and we mix
all sorts of other things in,

959
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,475
but now we know why.

960
00:47:25,475 --> 00:47:28,846
And the reason why is
all about the chemistry,

961
00:47:28,846 --> 00:47:32,749
and it all goes back to
this picture right here.

962
00:47:32,749 --> 00:47:37,054
It all goes back to exactly this
Lewis structure that I started

963
00:47:37,054 --> 00:47:39,623
with, which is not on the--

964
00:47:39,623 --> 00:47:40,724
stop it.

965
00:47:40,724 --> 00:47:42,025
No.

966
00:47:42,025 --> 00:47:44,194
It's stuck here.

967
00:47:44,194 --> 00:47:45,863
Maybe it's here.

968
00:47:45,863 --> 00:47:48,198
Yes.

969
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,300
That made me happy.

970
00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:54,004
This all goes back
to the chemistry.

971
00:47:54,004 --> 00:48:00,677
If I deliver, if I deliver
into this system something that

972
00:48:00,677 --> 00:48:05,282
gives me charged oxygens,
something that provides

973
00:48:05,282 --> 00:48:08,852
a little bit of O
minus or O2 minus,

974
00:48:08,852 --> 00:48:11,054
then I could cut this bond back.

975
00:48:11,054 --> 00:48:14,958
I can cut this all the way
back to the original silicate,

976
00:48:14,958 --> 00:48:16,593
sort of.

977
00:48:16,593 --> 00:48:18,862
If I had an oxygen
with charge on it,

978
00:48:18,862 --> 00:48:24,935
I can go from here back to
where I started, right there,

979
00:48:24,935 --> 00:48:27,604
at least for that bond, right?

980
00:48:27,604 --> 00:48:30,908
And so what every single one
of these things has in common

981
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:34,278
is that it can provide
into the system

982
00:48:34,278 --> 00:48:37,381
a charged oxygen, a
charged oxygen atom.

983
00:48:37,381 --> 00:48:41,218
If this dissociates, it gives
we Ca2 plus and O2 minus.

984
00:48:41,218 --> 00:48:44,655
If this dissociates, it gives me
two Na pluses and an O2 minus.

985
00:48:44,655 --> 00:48:49,559
Oh, a pattern is forming
here, O2 minus, O2 minus,

986
00:48:49,559 --> 00:48:52,162
O2 minus all the way down.

987
00:48:52,162 --> 00:48:55,966
So these modifiers, these things
that we use to engineer glass,

988
00:48:55,966 --> 00:49:02,239
they give me the O2 minus,
and that is the knife

989
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:06,610
that I use to cut this
glass apart and modify

990
00:49:06,610 --> 00:49:08,111
its properties, and
it's where we're

991
00:49:08,111 --> 00:49:09,546
going to pick up on Wednesday.

992
00:49:09,546 --> 00:49:12,516
But because it's a Friday, I
want to throw t-shirts out.

993
00:49:13,650 --> 00:49:15,118
We'll do more next week.

994
00:49:15,118 --> 00:49:18,455
Have a really good
holiday weekend.
