Abstract
A high energy x-ray diffraction (HEXRD) measurement has been performed on v itreous boron trioxide (B2O3) at 40.9 keV, using a bending magnet beamline at SPring-8. An accurate structure factor S(Q), for vitreous B2O3, in the Q range 0.6-24.2 Angstrom (-1), is obtained with very low systematic correct ions. We apply the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modelling technique, using bot h the HEXRD and the published neutron diffraction data. On the basis of the RMC model, we discuss the validity of the boroxol ring model of vitreous B 2O3.
