“…These bands attributed as due to the P-O-P harmonic bending, the P-O-P anti-symmetric, the P-O-P symmetric, the PO 3À 4 t3-normal tetrahedral ion and P@O stretching symmetric vibrational bonds, respectively. Also, IR investigations showed that the phosphate tetrahedral unit, PO 4 , dominate the structure of the glasses which contain metal oxides, e.g., CdO [3], V 2 O 5 [4], ZnO [5], Co 3 O 4 [1], MnO 2 [2] and TeO 2 -B 2 O 3 [6]. Anyhow, the increasing content of such oxides in the phosphate matrix can change the positions of the obtained absorption bands of different modes of vibrations, i.e., a shift to a higher wave number, indicating an increase in the number of tetrahedral surrounded transition metal cation.…”
