## Description

- description: B2O3 glass is a non-tetrahedral network-forming glass whose structure
    consists of boroxol rings that cannot form in crystalline phases under ambient
    conditions. In this study, a three-dimensional structural model of B2O3 glass
    containing a large fraction of boroxol rings (~80 %) was successfully constructed
    by reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modeling on the basis of high-energy X-ray diffraction
    data. This achievement is notable given that maintaining such a large fraction
    of boroxol rings has traditionally been considered difficult in conventional RMC
    modeling. Analyses of coordination number, bond angle distributions, and ring
    size distribution confirmed that the boroxol rings were well preserved in the
    model. The ring size distribution and persistence diagram revealed that B2O3 glass
    contains a large fraction of boroxol rings and a small fraction of larger rings
    with exceptionally high topological order, compared with typical tetrahedral network-forming
    glasses such as SiO2 glass. Our modeling and topological analysis can be extended
    to various B2O3-based glasses to provide a firm basis for understanding their
    physicochemical and structural properties at the atomic level.
