XRD patterns confirmed the amorphous structure of all samples. Glass transition temperature was maximum in borotellurite glass containing Y2O3. Refractive index, atomic polarizability and basicity increased in the following order of ions: Y3+ < Eu3+ < Pb2+ < Nd3+ < Nb 3+ < W6+. FTIR studies showed that PbO is outstanding in enhancing the concentration of tetrahedral borons in the borotellurite network.}, publisher = {American Institute of Physics}, publisher = {AIP Conference Proceedings, 2015, 1665, 070029}, publisher = {59th DAE Solid State Physics Symposium, Tamilnadu, India, 2014}, title = {Optical properties of borotellurite glasses containing metal oxides}, author = {Kaur, Nirmal and Khanna, Atul and Krishna, P.S.R. and González Martínez, Fernando}, }
