Abstract

The network structure of boromolybdate MoO3-Nd2O3-B2O3 glasses has been investigated by neutron diffraction and reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) simulation technique. The partial atomic correlation functions, first neighbour atom distances and the coordination numbers have been revealed. Formation of MoO4 (55%) and MoO6 (45%) units was established for the binary 90MoO3-10Nd2O3 glass. The ternary glasses consist from MoO4, BO3 and BO4 units. The relative number of BO3 is increasing with increasing boron content. Characteristic second neighbour distributions indicate the existence of a pronounced intermediate-range ordering through MoO4-BO4 and MoO4-BO3 linkages.
