Abstract
The visible spectra of Co2+ in both polymer-like and network-like sodium phosphate glasses were studied at elevated temperatures. A plot of the Co2+ 4A2 → 4T1(P) absorption at 580 nm versus temperature showed a discontinuity at a temperature above the glass transition in each case. The discontinuity was attributed to an increase in non-bridging oxygens caused by thermal disruption of branching PO4-3 units.
