title: Deconvolution of 29Si magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of silicate glasses revisited--some critical comments.
abstract: It is common practice to quantify 29Si magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectra of silicate glasses by using lineshape fitting routines based on Gaussian distribution functions. This procedure depends on several -implicit -assumptions. In this contribution we have addressed and questioned these underlying assumptions. Also "goodness-of-fit" criteria and experimental considerations ("goodness-of-data") have been discussed. Some illustrative practical examples (silica glass, binary Na2O-SiO2 glasses with different Na:Si ratio) are given.
