Study of the Structure of Iron-Containing Zinc Borate Glass.

The results of the experimental study of glass of the xFe2O3-(100-x)[40ZnO. 60B2O3] composition in which the content of iron oxide varies from 0 to 10 mol % are presented. The regularities of the glass structure change in the short- and intermediate-range order structures are considered based on the data of infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The valence and coordination state of iron in a glass matrix is studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
