Structural and optical properties of Tm2O3-doped zinc borotellurite glass system

Thulium doped zinc borotellurite glasses with composition {[(TeO2)0.7(B2O3)0.3]0.7[ZnO]0.3}1-x{Tm2O3}x were synthesized using melt-quenching technique. The values of x varied from 0.01 to 0.05 mol. The density and molar volume of the glass samples were found to increase with increased concentration...
