Abstract
Bismuth-containing high-silica glasses (BCHSGs) based on the matrices of high-silica nanoporous glasses have been synthesized. The structure of BCHSG plates has been investigated by means of the IR spectroscopy method in the frequency range 4000–400 cm−1. The bands corresponding to vibrations of the Bi-O bonds in structural units [BiO3] and [BiO6] were found on the spectral transmission curves of the synthesized BCHSGs. Besides, peaks corresponding to the presence of the α-Bi2O3 phase in the glass were revealed. It has been established that, depending on the BCHSG thermal treatment and the bismuth concentration in glass, changes of the glass structure and formation of Bi-O-Si bonds take place.
