Infrared spectroscopy in the investigation of oxide glasses structure

Results of FTIR study of glasses with polymeric network, containing SiO2, Al2O3, B2O3 and P2O5 as the network-forming compounds, Ca-aluminate glass and high PbO content glasses with SiO2, Al2O3 and B2O3 as admixtures stabilizing glassy state are presented. Coordination numbers of glass-network forming components with respect to oxygen and bridging oxygen bonds, linking the coordination tetrahedra in the multicomponent network glasses were determined.
