Abstract

The structural properties of lead-iron phosphate glasses have been investigated by X-ray diffraction in an attempt to understand the chemical and mechanical characteristics presented by lead metaphosphate glass as the result of the addition of iron oxide. Information on FeO bond lengths and coordination numbers was obtained by a comparison of radial distribution functions of glass samples containing iron oxide and of the iron-free glass matrix. Stable structural arrangements around Fe(III) atoms were detected, which could be responsible for the stabilizing effect of Fe 2O 3 on lead metaphosphate glass.
