Zinc tellurite glasses in the form of [{(TeO2)0.7 (ZnO) 0.3}0.99 (Sm2O3)0.01]1-y (Ag2O) y, y = 0.005. 0.01, 0.015, 0.02 and 0.025 M fraction is prepared by the method of melt quenching. The molar volume decreases while the density of the glasses increases with an increase in dopant. The indirect and...
