Two kinds of photon active glasses were investigated using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Both kinds of glasses were prepared using a sol-gel technique, doped by complex of ruthenium tris bipyridyl chloride. Glasses differed from the initial matrix: the first one was prepared using silicon oxide while the second one - zircon oxide. The ortho-positronium (o-Ps) lifetime and intensities were determined from lifetime spectra. Different porosity structure concluded from PALS measurements was found in both cases. In the silica based glasses small free volumes (angstrom size) and pores (from 1 to 10 nm) existed in the material. On the contrary, in zirconia based glasses small intermolecular voids were produced in the structure only, independently of the way of material preparation.

The porous structure of glasses incorporated by ruthenium tris bipyridyl chloride (further Rubpy) and adsorbed by Rubpy is studied by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy and liquid nitrogen adsorption method. The first method provides the radius of the pores in the range of 0.6-4 nm and their distribution. The second method provides the radius of the pores in the range of 1-150 nm, their total volumes, size distribution and specific surface area. In the first method both closed and opened pores can be seen when the measurements are made on bulk samples as in this work. When thin films are measured, one has to use a capping material to prevent backscattering. The dimension of the pores can be controlled by the catalyst used for sol-gel formation. When Rubpy is prepared by adding its salt to precursor solution catalyzed by HCl, the pore size increases because of stress exhibited by large molecules. The pore size decreases with adding of Rubpy in precursor solution, catalyzed by HF and HNO3. Glass doped by Rubpy is less sensitive to the type of catalyst, than undoped glasses. A comparative study was performed on undoped glasses prepared by the identical method. We shall discuss the similarities and differences of the two methods.
