Abstract
xAg2O∙(100-x)∙[P2O5∙CaO] glass system with 0 x 5 mol% was prepared and investigated in order to evidence the structural changes induced by the silver ions in controlled addition. The samples local structure were investigated using X-ray diffractions, IR and Raman spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction patterns consist in a broad line, typical for a vitreous system. The phosphate structural units of the network former revealed from FT-IR and Raman spectra are ultra-, meta-, pyro-and ortho- phosphate units. Both FT-IR and Raman spectra do not evidence directly the presence of silver structural units in the studied glasses. A continuously depolimerization process of these calcium phosphate glasses structure was evidenced by the Raman spectroscopy..
