Abstract

This paper presents some recent contributions of infrared reflectance spectroscopy to the structural investigation of borate glasses. Case studies of single alkali and alkaline earth borate glasses are presented and highlight the compositional dependence of the borate network and the nature of sites occupied by metal ions. Results of infrared spectroscopy are compared with those of molecular dynamics simulations to help elucidate the nature of the local borate units constituting the sites of metal ions in modified borate glasses.
