Abstract
Samples of synthetic diaplectic anorthite glass (38 GPa shock pressure), thermal glass and synthetic anorthite crystals were investigated using infrared spectral methods at one atmosphere and high pressures (near 4 GPa). Band positions and pressure derivatives for the Si-O asymmetric modes in the region 1,300–900 cm−1 indicate that the diaplectic glass has more structural similarities with the crystalline material than with thermal glass even though the overall infrared spectral characteristics suggest a glassy state.
