“…The first one is attributed to the symmetric stretching vibrations of PAOAP bonds in Q 2 metaphosphate units [30,35]. The second one correspond to the symmetric stretching vibrations of OAPAO non-bridging oxygens ((PO 2 ) À groups) in Q 2 phosphate tetrahedra [31,[36][37][38]. Moreover, the Raman spectrum of studied glasses presents seven weak bands centered at 600 cm À1 (assigned to the symmetric stretching vibrations of PAOA terminal bonds), $760 cm À1 (ascribed to the symmetric stretching vibrations of PAOAP associated with Q 1 tetrahedra units), $790 cm À1 (attributed to the symmetric stretching vibrations of PAOAP rings in Q 2 tetrahedra units), $890 cm À1 (correspond to the vibrations of the isolated (PO 4 ) 3À units), $1050 cm À1 (attributed to the symmetric stretching vibrations of (PO 3 ) 2À terminal group from the Q 1 units), $1262 cm À1 (assigned to the asymmetric stretching vibrations of (PO 2 ) À groups in Q 2 units) [35,38,39].…”
