Abstract
Mössbauer measurements of sodium borate glasses 4 Fe2O3· x Na2O· (96-x) B2O3 (x=6, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30) have been carried out. It was found that Fe3+ is present in both octahedral and tetrahedral sites, whereby the tetrahedral sites are preferred. In the range of Na2O contents higher than about 15 mol%, the isomer shifts and quadrupole splittings for Fe3+ decrease continuously with increasing Na2O concentration. These changes could be attributed to the formation of non-bridging oxygens (NBO) in the neighborhood of ferric ions. Increasing Na2O content thus gives rise to more NBO increasing the symmetry of the iron polyhedra.
