Hydroxyl Groups in GeO2 Glass

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The shape of the fundamental OH stretching band of GeO2 glass was analyzed before and after hydrostatic compression at 5.2 GPa. The results were interpreted using quantum-chemical modeling of the incorporation of OH groups and H2O molecules into the GeO2 glass network.
