M. Levy et C. Annequinthevenin, ION-EXCHANGE ON GLASS SUBSTRATES - NUMERICAL DETERMINATION OF CONCENTRATION PROFILES, Physics and Chemistry of Glasses, 38(2), 1997, pp. 53-58
A numerical method of calculating ion exchanged concentration profiles
is presented. Two programmes based on this method have been implement
ed. The first takes into account the Poisson equation (no simplifying
assumption) while the second is based on the 'local electroneutrality'
simplification. Numerical analysis of the results obtained through th
e two types of simulations shows no significant differences corroborat
ing the usual quasi-neutral modelling.
