Abstract
Thermal relaxation of Si-O-Si bond angle has been studied in 1 MeV B+- ion, 1 MeV O+-ion and 4 MeV Ni2+-ion implanted silica glasses by infra red reflection and visible and near-infrared reflection spectroscopy. It is found that the change in Si-O-Si bond angle is not proportional to the change in molar volume upon annealing. It is deduced that the r elaxation mechanism of Si-O-Si bond angle accompanied by little densit y change has an activation energy of about 100 kJ mol(-1). (C) 1998 El sevier Science B.V.
