The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

High resolution Si-29, Al-27, N-15 and O-17 MAS NMR spectra have been collected for a series of yttrium oxynitride glasses with varying nitrogen contents. The results show that as the proportion of nitrogen in the glass increases, the proportion of [SiON3], [SiO2N2] and [SiO3N] coordinations systematically increase at the expense of [SiO4]. The Al-27 NMR spectra confirm the existence of [AlO4], [AlO5] and [AlO6] environments simultaneously in all samples, but it is difficult to unequivocally demonstrate the presence of Al-centred oxynitride environments ([AlO3N], [AlO2N2], etc) because of the breadth of the spectra. N-15 NMR spectra show that nitrogen occurs in two types of environment, either 2- or 3-coordinated by silicon, with the [NSi3] environment more dominant in oxynitride glasses with low nitrogen contents. O-17 spectra indicate three kinds of oxygen environment: bridging, nonbridging and ionic.
