Structure of lead oxyfluorosilicate glasses: X-ray photoelectron and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation

2000 
Abstract X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and 29 Si magic angle spinning (MAS)-NMR spectroscopy have been used to examine the chemical states of fluorine, oxygen, silicon and lead atoms in the glasses of composition x PbF 2 ·(100−y−x) PbO ·y SiO 2 (x=0,5,10,15,20,30 mol%, y =30,50,60 mol%). The analysis of the F 1s spectra indicated that Pb 2+ and F − ions are preferentially located among the Si–O skeleton forming ionic Pb–F clusters. The fraction of the bridging (BO) and non-bridging oxygen (NBO) atoms was derived from the O 1s spectra. The network of the fluorine-containing glasses was concluded to depend on the ratio PbO/SiO 2 ; when the ratio PbO/SiO 2 was lower than 0.5, not only Pb atoms but also F atoms play a role as network modifiers, while when the ratio PbO/SiO 2 is higher than 1.33, part of Pb atoms plays a role as a glass network former.
