Moessbauer effect and X-ray distribution function analysis in complex Na{sub 2}O-CaO-ZnO-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-SiO{sub 2} glasses and glass-ceramics
Moessbauer spectroscopy at room temperature was carried out to determine the state of iron ions in complex glasses and glass-ceramics in the SiO{sub 2}-CaO-ZnO-Na{sub 2}O-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} system. Isomer shift values of the glasses suggest that Fe{sup 3+} and Fe{sup 2+} are in tetrahedral and octahedral coordination, respectively. The spectrum of the glass-ceramic shows that about 60 wt% total iron is in the magnetite phase. The Fe{sup +3}/Fe{sup +2} ratio varies with the total iron oxide content of the glasses, indicating that the vitreous network is more distorted when the iron content is greater. X-ray diffraction measurements were carried out to obtain the radial distribution function (RDF). The interatomic distances for Si-Si and Si-O have been determined. The complex composition of these glasses does not allow the estimation of Al-O and Fe-O distances.
