Abstract

The infrared (FT–IR) absorption spectra for the glasses of the x CuO (100 - x)[ 2B 2 O 3 · As 2 O 3] system with 0 ≤ x ≤ 30 mol% CuO were measured in the wave number region 500–4000 cm -1 at room temperature following the KBr pellet techniques. The aim was to obtain information about the influence of CuO on the local order of the 2B 2 O 3 · As 2 O 3 glass matrix. The interpretation of the obtained vibrational spectra revealed the presence of BO 3, BO 4 units, boroxol rings and the monoclinic form of vitreous As 2 O 3 in the structure of investigated glasses.
