High-Temperature Raman Spectral Studies Of Various Borate-Containing Glasses

Raman spectroscopy provides a powerful tool for investigating the network of borate-containing glasses, particularly in the borate portion of the glasses. This paper deals with the structural information that can be obtained in-situ from Raman spectra of borate-containing glasses at high temperatures and specifically considers Raman spectral information that was obtained for B2O3, borosilicate, borogermanate and borosilicogermanate glasses possessing larger concentrations of boron oxide, along with sodium borate and borosilicate glasses.
