Abstract

Detailed Raman spectroscopic studies on 40:60 iron phosphate glasses (IPG) and cesium doped IPG under ambient conditions revealed an evident disproportionation of the pyrophosphate network beyond 18mol% Cs doping. In situ high pressure Raman spectroscopic studies were carried out on IPG and Cs doped IPG up to 40GPa for the first time in order to investigate the structural stability of these glasses under pressure. Although the parent glass is found to be robust to such high pressures, pressure quenched samples loaded with cesium beyond 18mol% concentration were observed to permanently cross link leading to new high density forms of the glass. The extent of cross linking is observed to systematically increase with the cesium content in the parent matrix.
