Abstract
Glasses and melts of the system X mol % Na2O · GeO2 (X = 0, 10, 20, 30) are investigated using high-temperature Raman spectroscopy. Addition of an oxide modifier is shown to bring about an increase in the coordination number of central germanium atoms along with the depolarization of the three-dimensional GeO2 network. The glass-melt transition in germanate systems with a low oxide-modifier content is accompanied by the transition of six-coordinated germanium atoms into four-coordinated (with oxygen) ones and a simultaneous formation of nonbridge oxygen atoms.
