biostudies-literatureUnknown5(2)Morsy MAA detailed investigation of the structural changes of lithium borate (LiB) glass 25Li₂O-(75 - <i>x</i>)B₂O₃ was conducted in the absence and presence of lead(II) oxide or aluminum oxide (<i>x</i> = 10 mol %) glass modifiers. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy were used to explore the structural properties of LiB glass by incorporating trace amounts of manganese(III) oxide (0.00-0.25 mol %) as a probe. Differential thermal analysis and XRD results for the glasses and their ceramics confirmed the integration of aluminum atoms into the glass framework by forming a lithium aluminum boron oxide Li₂(AlB₅O₁₀) crystalline phase.
