Abstract: Polarized and depolarized Raman spectra of alkali germanate glasses are given, together with Raman powder spectra of the crystalline compounds Li2O · 2 GeO2; 3 Li2O · 8 GeO2; 2 Li2O· 9 GeO2; Li2O · 7 GeO2; 2 Na2O · 9 GeO2; K2O · 2 GeO2; K2O · 4 GeO2 and K2O · 8 GeO2. The alkali germanate glasses: xA2O (1−x) GeO2 are studied in the composition range 0 < x < 0.333. The vibrational modes observed in the high energy range of the Raman spectra of the crystalline compounds are interpreted in terms of symmetrical and antisymmetrical O-Ge-O a...
