Abstract
Using the EPR method, it was established that the main centers of negative charge accumulation are electroactive phosphor-oxygen ion radical P of the electron type. The majority of the considered phosphate glasses are capable of accumulating such a charge. However, the most effective one among the alkaline-earth modifiers is magnesium. The results obtained make it possible to develop with a great degree of reliability the compositions and technology of inorganic glasses with a prescribed set of service properties.
