This paper presents systematic data on the IR-absorption spectra of lithium borate glasses. Lithium borate glasses were synthesized from Li/sub 2/CO/sub 3/ and H/sub 3/BO/sub 3/ in Pt crucibles at temperatures from 800 to 1050 C. It was possible in the lithium borate system to obtain glasses continuing significantly more M/sub 2/O than the glasses in the sodium or potassium borate system. An analysis of the data on Raman spectra of alkali borate glasses suggests that the addition of M/sub 2/O to a B/sub 2/O/sub 3/ glass produces network disorder, the replacement of the boroxyl rings by rings of another configuration and the formation of BO/sub 4/ tetrahedra.
