The interaction of Ti 4+ with the anionic structure of glasses and melts along the join Na 2 Si 2 O 5 ---Na 2 Ti 2 O 5 has been examined in situ at temperatures between 25 and 1316°C with microRaman spectroscopy. In the Ti-free endmember system the expression, (1) 2Q 3 Q 2 + Q 4 describes the anionic equilibria adequately. Solution of Ti 4+ stabilizes an additional unit, Q 1 . This structural change requires an additional expression, (2) 2Q 2 Q 3 + Q 1 , to represent the equilibria. The H x 1 for reaction 1 is ~24 kJ/mol, whereas that for reaction 2 is ~ -40 kJ/mol. These values differ from those in the analogous Na 2 Si 2 O 5 ---Na 2 (NaAl) 2 O 5 system (Mysen and Frantz, 1994a), where H x 1 for Al-bearing melts is -11--14 kJ/mol, and that of reaction 2 is 17-33 kJ/mol, depending on the Al/(Al + Si). Increasing TiO 2 concentration is positively correlated with the abundance of Q 2 and Q 1 structural units, whereas those of Q 3 and Q 4 are negatively correlated. In the equivalent Al-system (Mysen and Frantz, 1994a), the Q 2 , Q 1 , and Q 4 are positively correlated and the Q 3 abundance is negatively correlated with increasing Al 2 O 3 . The Raman spectra of Ti-bearing glasses and melts are consistent with Ti 4+ in at least three different structural positions (Si 4+ Ti 4+ substitution, clusters perhaps of TiO 2 type, and Ti 4+ as a network-modifying cation). This behavior depends on both temperature and TiO 2 concentration. The fraction of tetrahedrally coordinated Ti 4+ increases from near 0% for 3.5 mol% TiO 2 to nearly 80% in glasses and melts with 20 mol% TiO 2 . Increasing temperature above that of the glass transformation interval (400-500°C) results in a 10-30% decrease in the fraction Ti 4+ in tetrahedral coordination. As the temperature is raised beyond 800-900°C, this trend reverses. It is suggested that the temperature- and composition-dependent structural behavior of Ti 4+ in the melts might be reflected in unusual behavior of melt properties such as viscosity, thermal expansion, and thermodynamic properties.
