The sample shows reversible photochromic effect. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared (IR) spectrum investigations indicate that the photochromic phase of tile coating is CuBr_xCl_(1-x), solid solution, and that the structure network of the coating is connected with the bonds of Si-O-Si, Si-O-B and Si-O-Al.展开更多

The composition range of glass matrix can be described by F=[(R_20+MO)-Al_20_3]/B_20_3·In this paper, the basic structure of the glasses is investigated in terms of IR and Raman spectroscopy in detail. The results demonstrate that the network of body glass is constructed by [SiO_4], [BO_3], [BO_4] and [Al0_4], in which [BO_3] and [BO_4] are interconnec- ted into two kinds of borate groups and a kind of boroxol ring. Finally, the relationships between structure and properties have been discussed on the scale of molecules and molecular groups.展开更多
