27Al and 29Si MAS NMR investigations of cordierite glass, mu- and alpha-cordierite.

27Al and 29Si Magic-Angle Spinning NMR results are reported for conventionally prepared glass of cordierite stoichiometry (2MgO.2Al2O3.5SiO2), the metastable high-quartz solid solution (mu-cordierite) and the high-temperature polymorph of cordierite (alpha-cordierite).

Detection of multiple boron sites in glasses by 11B satellite transition nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

The magic-angle spinning sidebands of the satellite transition (ST, m = +/- 3/2 <==> +/- 1/2) for 11B nuclear magnetic resonance (11B ST spectroscopy) have been used to detect multiple boron sites in Na2O-B2O3-SiO2 glasses. The experimental details and data analysis are described, how multiple BO4 and BO3 units can be distinguished using standard magic-angle spinning. For a 16Na2O-30B2O3-53.

Quantitative structural analysis of mullite by 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance satellite transition spectroscopy.

27Al Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) satellite transition spectroscopy has been used for the quantitative investigation of the microstructure of polycrystalline 2/1-type mullite (approximately 76 wt.-% Al2O3 and 24 wt.-% SiO2).
