Abstract
- The solubility of hydrogen in amorphous silica at a temperature of 250 °C and pressures up to 75 kbar is studied using a quenching technique. The molar ratio H(2)/SiO(2) is found to linearly increase with pressure from X = 0.16 at P = 6 kbar to X = 0.53 at P = 75 kbar. An investigation of a sample with X = 0.47 by Raman spectroscopy demonstrated that hydrogen dissolves in silica in the form of H(2) molecules, and these molecules occupy voids of, at least, two different types in the silica network. An X-ray diffraction study showed that the hydrogen molecules penetrating in the silica glass network prevented its irreversible densification occurring if the silica glass is compressed to the same pressure without hydrogen.
