Abstract
In order to evidenced the structural changes induced by MnO in the barium-borate network, the following glass system was prepared and investigated by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopies: xMnO∙(100-x)[3B2O3∙BaO] with 0 ≤ x ≤ 50 mol%. The results have shown that borate ions take part in the network of studied glasses. For our system both BO3 and BO4 units was detected, the first being dominant in all concentration range. By Raman spectroscopies were detected new structural units, boroxol rings and chain and/or ring type metaborate groups..
