The present investigation explores the adaptability of the lead-germanate network with the Ag2O content in the system with xAg2O·(100-x)[7GeO2·3PbO2] composition where x = 0–40mol% Ag2O. All obtained glasses have amorphous structure. The existence of crystallite particles with different morphologies in studied glasses was confirmed by the Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) and the Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) investigations.Our IR and Raman data show that by increasing the Ag2O content of samples up to 15mol%, the [GeO4] tetrahedral structural units were converted in [GeO6] octahedral structural units and an increase in the polymerization visibly of the glass network was observed. In this manner the excess oxygen atoms added to the host matrix through modifier oxides are taken up by transforming of lead-germanate network to silver-lead-germanate glassy network. Some silver atoms will be implied in the compensation of the excess of negative electric charge and another are taken up by forming of Ag-O bonds.The analysis of quantum chemical calculations on the local structure of the 40Ag2O·60[7GeO2·3PbO2] network suggest the presence of deformed higher-fold coordinated polyhedrons of the lead and germanium atoms (n = 4 and 6) and the sites of the silver of ionic and covalent nature.Structural parameters determined from SANS data reveal that the size of the particles varies from 36 to 58 Å and nanoheterogeneities are essentially monodisperse.
