Abstract
X‐ray diffraction measurements have been performed on glasses of the AgX–Ag2O–B2O3 (X=Br,Cl) systems. The only meaningful structural detail of the radial distribution functions is due to Ag–X interactions. The mean numbers of Ag–X contacts has been obtained through analysis of the high‐angle partial structure functions si(s), calculated by subtracting experimental structure function of the Ag2O–B2O3glasses from that of the corresponding AgX–doped glasses. Calculations have been also performed for AgI–Ag2O–B2O3glasses, and comparison between the results from systems containing different halides is made. The average number of Ag–X contacts is very similar in samples at equimolar composition, thus suggesting a close structural feature in AgX–doped glasses.
