Abstract: | The short-range structure and network speciation have been studied in a series of beryllium boroaluminate glasses using 11B, 27Al and 9Be NMR spectroscopy. All glasses are characterized by a coexistence of BeO4, BO3, BO4, AlO4, AlO5 and AlO6 species. The concentrations of BO3, AlO5 and AlO6 species in these glasses are significantly higher and the geometry of the B-O and Al-O coordination polyhedra are unusually disordered compared to those in other alkali and alkaline-earth boroaluminate glasses reported previously in the literature. These results indicate that Be atoms may not play the typical role of a network-modifying cation in these glasses. This structural scenario is consistent with the highest field strength and electronegativity of Be among all alkali and alkaline-earth metals. |
