In this research, the melt-quenching method was used to synthesize a series of zinc tellurite glass systems doped with erbium oxide with the chemical composition of [(TeO2)0.7 (ZnO)0.3]1−x (Er2O3)x at different molar fraction, x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier...
