Investigation into two-component phosphate glasses by X-ray electron spectroscopy

Using the method of X-ray electron spectroscopy double glass-like and certain crystal phosphates containing mono and bivalent cations are investigated. The identity of spectra of frame levels and valents band of glass-like and crystal analogues points to the preservation of the near order in glasses. Using the method, bridge and non-bridge oxygen atoms (P-O-R and P=O) can be discriminated in glass-like and crystal phosphates containing mono- and bivalent cations, but it is quite impossible to distinguish the bonds P-O-R and P=O. The chemical shift 01 s in bicomponent phosphate glasses increases with an increase in the modifier content. In the case of alkali-earth ions the chemical shift 01s is determined by the sequene Be→Mg→Ca→Sr→Ba. The chemical shift P2p increases with an increase in the number of non-bridge oxygen atoms
