Abstract
The structural characteristics of Re 2O 3 doped B 2O 3-Al 2O 3-SiO 2 glasses and factors such as the component and heat-treating conditions affecting the glass structure were investigated by magic angle spin nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy and differential thermal analysis (DTA). It is found that, in B 2O 3-Al 2O 3-SiO 2 glass, the boron coordination sites are mainly of trigonal (B(3)) and tetrahedral (B(4)), and the aluminum coordination sites are Al(4), Al(5) and partly of Al(6). With the increase of BaO content in the B 2O 3-Al 2O 3-SiO 2 glass, B(3) gradually changes to B (4), and Al(5), Al(6) changes to Al(4). On the other hand, compared with Ba 2+, RE 3+ can accumulate the boron network because of its higher field strength, which results in a large network structure. With the increase of samarium oxide, the silicate coordination Q 4(3T) will have predominance gradually. Heat-treatment has little effect on the boron and aluminum coordination sites in the glass structure.
