A series of (90–x)Li2B4O7-10Nb2O5-xNd2O3 glass samples (x=0, 5 mol.%, 10 mol.%, 15 mol.%, 20 mol.% and 25 mol.%) were synthesized using melt quenching technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analyzer (DTA), Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared (UV-V...
