A series of glass based on (80-x) TeO2- 20 ZnO–x Er2O3 where 0<x≤ 2.5 mol % was prepared using melt quenching technique. The amorphosity of the glass was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the physical properties such as density and hardness was determined by means of Archimedes and Vicker...
