ABSTRACT
The structural properties of the glass matrix 40SiO(2)·30Na(2)O·1Al(2)O(3)·(29-x)B(2)O(3)·xFe(2)O(3) (mol%), 0.0≤x≤29.0 were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and Raman and infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). XRD demonstrated Fe(3)O(4) crystal formation for Fe(2)O(3) concentrations of 29.0 mol%. DTA showed that glass transition and crystallization temperatures changed as a function of Fe(2)O(3) concentration and that these alterations were related to structural change in the glass system. Interesting aspects of Raman and FT-IR spectra were found, and this gives information about of the structure changes in Si-O-Si units of these glasses as a function of Fe(2)O(3) concentration.
