Abstract Glass-glass phase separation has been observed when melts of compositions As2S3Agx (x=0.1, 0.25, 0.35, 0.4 or 0.5) were cooled slowly to 210° C and annealed at this temperature. The two glass phases produced were an Ag-rich one (approximate compositon for x=0.4, As2S3.4Ag1.0) and an Ag-poor one (As2S2.7Ag0.07). With increasing x value, Ag and S contents in the Ag-rich phase increased, and its composition approached that of trechmannite or smithite (AgAsS2), whereas the Ag content of the Ag-poor phase changed little and only the S content decreased. A chemical-etching study of the phaseseparated glasses was also made.
