Ef. Sheka et al., TECHNOLOGICAL POLYMORPHISM OF DISPERSE AM ORPHOUS SILICAS - INELASTICNEUTRON-SCATTERING AND COMPUTATIONAL MODELING, Uspehi himii, 64(5), 1995, pp. 419-445
The results concerning the vibrational spectra for a set of commercial
amorphous highly disperse silicas (aerosil, silica gel, and aerogel),
studied in details by inelastic neutron scattering, are reviewed. The
observed phenomenon of a technological polymorphism as well as quantu
m chemical modelling of the structure and vibrational spectra of the r
elated polymorphic modifications are discussed.
