Abstract—The results of the experimental study of glass of the xFe₂O₃–(100 – x)[40ZnO ⋅ 60B₂O₃] composition in which the content of iron oxide varies from 0 to 10 mol % are presented. The regularities of the glass structure change in the short- and intermediate-range order structures are considered based on the data of infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The valence and coordination state of iron in a glass matrix is studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy.
