The Ag+/Na+ ion-exchange was studied for Na2O·2SiO2 glass below and above the glass transition temperature using an eutectic melt, (AgCl)0.42(AgI)0.58. The interdiffusion coefficients were deduced from the Ag concentration profiles in the glass, as measured by means of X-ray micro-analysis. It was found that the diffusion could be described by:

D (cm2/s)  = 1.3 x 10-2 exp[-77.1(kJ/mol)/RT]

at temperatures below the glass transition temperature, and by:

D (cm2/s)  = 1.1 x 104 exp[-157(kJ/mol)/RT]

at temperatures above the glass transition temperature.
