In situ high pressure neutron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy of 20BaO-80TeO₂ glass.

ABSTRACT: The short-range structure of 20BaO-80TeO₂ glass was studied in situ by high pressure neutron diffraction and high pressure Raman spectroscopy. Neutron diffraction measurements were performed at the PEARL instrument of the ISIS spallation neutron source up to a maximum pressure of 9.0 ± 0.5 GPa. The diffraction data was analysed via reverse Monte Carlo simulations and the changes in the glass short-range structural properties, Ba-O, Te-O and O-O bond lengths and speciation were studied as a function of pressure. Te-O co-ordination increases from 3.51 ± 0.05 to 3.73 ± 0.05, Ba-O coordination from 6.24 ± 0.19 to 6.99 ± 0.34 and O-O coordination from 6.00 ± 0.05 to 6.69 ± 0.06 with an increase in pressure from ambient to 9.0 GPa.
