Raman spectroscopic investigations of the structure of xCuO(1 - x)[3B2O3K2O] glasses

摘要

Raman spectroscopy is one of the most useful methods for investigating the structure of glasses and it has been used in many studies. Structure is usually discussed in terms of spectral profile, such as the peak position of bands and the ratio of the intensities of the bands. Raman spectra, and identification of glass-forming structural units in alkali-borate glasses were also analysed by other authors [1-3]. The introduction of a transition metal into the glasses leads to the change of the glass structure, the metal oxide acting as a modifier [4-7], In this work, the structural units present in xCuO-(l - x)[3B2O3-K2O] glasses with x =s 0.1 were investigated by Raman spectroscopy.
