Abstract
Composition and bonding configuration of silicate glasses with different lithium content was studied by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The lithium content of the formed glass matrix has been determined by using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy with high precision. Analysis of the Raman spectra implied on the complex character of lithium incorporation into the glassy matrix with lithium content. It was found that the addition of lithium results in more depolymerized SiO4 structures and, in general, increases the disorder of the structure. However, at certain concentrations lithium has an ordering effect due to more homogeneous size distribution of structural units of the glass matrix.
