    IR and Raman study of calcium aluminosilicate glasses of the composition xCaO ∙ xAI2O3 ∙ (100 - 2x)SiO2
    (Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft, 2002) Peuker, Christel; Bessau, Waltraud; Brzezinka, Klaus-Werner; Kohl, Anka; Reinholz, Uwe; Geißler, Heinz
    Vibrational spectra are measured for calcium aluminosilicate glasses with the composition (in mol%) xCaO ∙ xAI2O3 ∙ (100 - 2x)SiO2. The OH bands show a systematic change with x in both MIR and NIR regions. The strongly asymmetric band at about 3550 cm-1 shifts to lower wave numbers with increasing x. In the same way the OH combination band at about 4500 cm-1 shifts to lower wave numbers. For the 3550 cm-1 band an extinction coefficient of about 60 1 ∙ mol-1 ∙ cm-1 is suggested for all the samples with x from 15 to 32. For the 4500 cm-1 band the extinction coefficient decreases from 1.0 to 0.49 1 ∙ mol-1 ∙ cm-1 with increasing x from 15 to 32. Systematic changes in the Raman and IR reflectance spectra reflect the substitution of Al3+ for Si4+ and a corresponding increase of Ca2+ in the network. Thus, the vibrational spectra can be related to a fully polymerized network without or with a small amount of nonbridging oxygens also for glasses with x ≥ 25.

    IR and Raman spectroscopic study of some strontium aluminosilicate glasses
    (Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft, 2003) Peuker, Christel; Brzezinka, Klaus-Werner; Nofz, Marianne; Pilz, Walter; Geißler, Heinz
    Vibrational spectra are measured for strontium aluminosilicate glasses with the composition (in mol%) x SrO ∙ y AI2O3 ∙ (100-x-y) SiO2 (33 ≤ x ≤ 40, 0 ≤ y ≤ 2) with a water content ranging from 0.014 to 0.14 mol ∙ l-1 . The OH bands systematically change with glass composition in both MIR and NIR regions. The ratio of the absorption coefficients α3550/α2800 increases with decreasing number of nonbridging oxygens per tetrahedron (NBO/T; Τ = Si, AI). This indicates an increasing amount of strongly hydrogen bonded OH groups (2800 cm-1) with NBO/T relative to the weakly bonded hydroxyls (3550 cm-1) within the compositional series. Intensity changes in the Raman and IR reflectance spectra also reflect the substitution of Al3+ for Si4+ in the network and the incorporation of Sr2+. The increasing intensity ratio of the Raman bands I945/I1070 with NBO/T indicates an increase of structural units relative to Q^3, as well as the weak shoulder at 870 cm-1 shows a rising amount of Q units. The growing intensity of the IR reflectance band at 930 cm-1 with NBO/T confirms the increasing amount of nonbridging oxygen in the glasses. Α depolarized Raman band at 330 cm-1 was assigned to an Sr-O vibration. For hydrated samples the significantly higher ratio of α3550/α2800 in relation to the basic glasses can be explained by structural changes in the samples due to the water enrichment procedure. The hydroxyl content of the basic and hydrated glasses can be estimated by the so called two-band method with composition independent extinction coefficients for the two IR bands at about 3550 and 2800 cm-1, ε3550 = 80 1 ∙ mol-1 ∙ cm-1 and ε2800 = 170 1 ∙ mol-1 ∙ cm-1, independent of the Al3+ content of the glasses.

    OD bands in the IR spectra of a deuterated soda-lime-silica glass
    (Offenbach : Verlag der Deutschen Glastechnischen Gesellschaft, 2001) Peuker, Christel; Brzezinka, Klaus-Werner; Gaber, Martin; Kohl, Anka; Geißler, Heinz
    IR spectra of a deuterated glass of the composition (in mol%) 16 Na2O · 10 CaO · 74 SiO2 complete earlier spectroscopic studies on water-poor soda-lime-silica glasses. The approved IR spectroscopic method of the deuterium exchange allows a reliable assignment of the hydroxyl bands also in the case of glasses. By spectra comparison the assignment of the IR bands at 3500 and 2800 cm-1 to hydroxyl groups with different hydrogen bonding is verified. The IR band at about 4500 cm-1 is interpreted as both a combination of the stretching vibrations vO-H and vSi-OH and a combination of the stretching vibration vO-H and the deformation vibration δSiOH. The bands at 1763 and 1602 cm-1 are attributed to combination vibrations of the glass network.
