Ota eta al determined a set of equilibrium constants which govern the number density of the structural units in the alkali borate glass. Based on this result, molar volumes of the alkali borate system were computed from the molar volumes allocated to each of the structural units. In this study, a second glass-forming component GeO2 was added to the Na2O-B2O3 system and the change of coordination state of borons was examined by Raman spectroscopy.
