“…Most of major peaks of Raman scattering are common in bulk glass and thin film glass, except minor shifts of peak positions due to different chemical compositions. First of all, the glass with higher proportion of P 2 O 5 in borophosphate glass system normally exhibits a sharp peak at 1170 cm −1 (PO 4 or 4 coordinated phosphorus unit) [13] and the absence of this peak in present study supports the compositional analysis of ICP-MS, where the molar concentration of B 2 O 3 is much higher than P 2 O 5 . Secondly, the peaks at 1010 and 1110 cm −1 , which are assigned to the combination of various P-O groups with (B-O-P) − and (B-O-P) 0 , respectively, are rather broadened and blunt.…”
