Abstract

A range of phosphate glasses containing lutetium was prepared by the melt quenching technique. The densities of annealed and unannealed glass samples, molar volumes and the optical energy gapE opt of thin blown films of the glasses were determined. It was found that the density and molar volume both increased with increase of Lu2O3 content. TheE opt values showed that they are not sensitive to the incorporation of small amounts of oxides.
