Abstract

Based on static electromagnetics theory and thermodynamics theory, a new model is proposed to describe the phase separation from the glass doped with metal particles in a static electric field. This model is proved by a heat-treatment experiment of boracic silicate glass doped with gold. The results indicate that the externally applied electric field promotes the phase separation of the glass and leads to a different size of the droplet phase just as this new model has predicted.
