“…In contrast, most investigators identify a Raman band near 975 cm )1 with a chain like Q 2 silicate structure [14,69,[75][76][77][78][86][87][88][89]91,92] like that of Na 2 SiO 3 ( figure 5, table 2). Likewise, bands near 764 and 706 cm )1 have been associated with Si-O stretching [88] though a d Si-O-Si vibration has also been assigned to 769 cm )1 Raman shift in certain aluminosilicates [90]. A band in the 910-940 cm )1 region that also appears in various calculations of spectra of a fully dissociated, Q 0 type orthogonal [SiO 4 ] 4) monomer ion [14,64] has been assigned to m as Si-O [14,64,88], d O-Si-O [88], and Q 3 type m Si-O-Si [75,79,87] vibrations.…”
