K. Handa et al., XAFS study of the local structure of (K2O-Al2O3)center dot 2B(2)O(3) and (CaO-Al2O3)center dot 2B(2)O(3) glasses, PHYS C GLAS, 41(6), 2000, pp. 345-348
We have studied the structure of (xK(2)O(.)yAl(2)O(3))(.)2B(2)O(3) (x+0.75,
0.5, 0.45, x+y=1) and (xCaO(.)yAl(2)O(3))(.)2B(2)O(3) (x=0.75, 0.5, 0.375,
x+y=1) glasses by soft x-ray XAFS measurements. There are 6 oxygen atoms a
round K and Ca in (CaO-Al2O3)(.)2B(2)O(3) glasses and K(2)O(.)2B(2)O(3) gla
ss and 4.2-4.7 aroudn K in (K2O-Al2O3)(.)2B(2)O(3) glasses. The mean K-O an
d Ca-O distances are 2.74-2.78 and 2.40-2.44 Angstrom, respectively. The fr
action of AlO6 as AlO4 is 53.6% in (0.75 CaO(.)0.25 Al2O3)(.)2B(2)O(3) glas
s and 23.3% in (0.375 CaO(.)0.625 Al2O3)(.)2B(2)O(3) glass, respectively. T
hese results are in good agreement with our MD calculations.
