Abstract

In phosphorus oxynitride glasses, doubly and triply coordinated nitrogen ions replace the bridging and nonbridging oxygen ions in the PO₄ tetrahedra, thereby increasing the crosslinking between the P(O, N)₄ groups. For the alkali metaphosphate composition, this process continues until all of the PO₄ groups are converted to PO₂N₂ groups which corresponds to the composition RPO_1.75N_0.83 and a maximum nitrogen content of 18.12 at .%.
