Analysis of small-angle neutron, ultra-small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering, scanning electron microscopy allows concluding that the synthesized glasses are complex systems with a three-level hierarchical fractal structure. It is revealed that both the temperature of synthesis and the H2O concentration in the initial solution significantly affect the structural characteristics of the glasses.
