The radial distribution functions of cobalt glasses with 6%, 8% and 14% CoO are compared with those of suitable cobalt‐free borosilicate matrices leading to ‘‘difference distribution curves’’ representative of the cobalt structural arrangement. Analysis of the curves indicates that cobalt ions are surrounded by approximately four oxygen neighbors at the distance expected for fourfold coordination.
