The Si–O–Si inter-tetrahedral angle and its distribution are extracted using a model developed previously for densified silica, and the result are compared to ab initio atomistic calculations. The two techniques reveal a reduction of the most probable angle of about 0.30°/mol% of Na2O, but the shape of the angular distributions are different. The results suggest that Raman scattering enhances a specific angular distribution of Si–O–Si bridges, likely those close to sodium atoms, highlighting local angular heterogeneities. %G English %L hal-01624760 %U https://hal.science/hal-01624760 %~ INSU %~ UNIV-PARIS7 %~ AFRIQ %~ CNRS %~ IPGP %~ L2C %~ USPC %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ UM-2015-2021
