The Ge EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) above its K absorption edge was measured for GeO2-P2O5 glasses containing up to 49mol% PO5/2 (here, chemical formula is defined as PO5/2). The Ge-O distance was determined to be 1.72-1.76Å by the curve fitting method. It was shown that a part of Ge atoms changes their coordination number from 4 to 6 on introducing P2O5 into GeO2 glass. The fraction of six-coordinated Ge atoms (N6) was estimated from the Ge-O distances obtained by EXAFS analysis and the result agreed with the value of N6 estimated from molar volume using partial molar volumes of Vp=24.20, VGe(4)=28.71 and VGe(6)=19.60cm3. N6 approximately followed a formula N6=x/2(1-x), where x is the molar fraction of PO5/2.
