Summary/Abstract: The confinement of mobile Na+ ions in sodium silicate glassy nanoparticles is considered quantum mechanically to be under the influence of a spherical box potential. The values for the energies of mobile Na+ ions are determined theoretically for particle diameters of 1nm, 2nm and 5nm. For 1nm and 2nm particles, for a given value of the principal quantum number ‘n’, it is shown that the energy level separations between adjacent levels lie in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
