“…Existence of wide band at high frequency 1013 cm À 1 illustrates asymmetric stretching vibrations of the Si-O-Si bonds with threedimensional network structure [25,26]. In view of alumina, it is preferably located in the tetrahedral network and acts as a network former as silicon in the glass, so the asymmetric vibrations of Si-O-Al take part in this band [20].…”
