Abstract
The applicability of low-frequency Raman spectroscopy to the study of structural nonuniformities in photochromic glass was examined. The material studied was a glassy matrix of the composition SiO2-B2O5 containing microcrystals of silver halide. The size and distribution of the microcrystals was determined from the scatter of light on their intrinsic surface vibrational modes; the method was compared with x-ray analysis. The method was found to be an effective method of determining the size and concentration of microcrystals. Features observed in the Raman spectra were explained.
