2. The phase-separated glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein dA is more than 0.2 μm.

3. The phase-separated glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein the glass is an alkali silicate glass and comprises a total of 6% by mass or more of Na 2 O and K 7 O, and 0.5% by mass or more of P 2 O 5 .

4. The phase-separated glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein the glass comprises at least one of CaO and BaO and a total content of CaO and BaO is less than 6% by mass.

5. The phase-separated glass according to claim 1 , comprising, in terms of an oxide-based mole percentage, SiO 2 in a range of 50% to 80%, Al 2 O 3 in a range of 0% to 10%, B 2 O 3 in a range of 0% to 7%, MgO in a range of 2% to 30%, at least one selected from ZrO 2 , P 2 O 5 , TiO 2 , and La 2 O 3 in a range of 0.5% to 10% in total, and Na 2 O in a range of 1% to 17%.

6.
