Glass and Ceramics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Glasses with composition Bi4(Si x Ge1 – x )3O12, where x = 0.33, 0.5 and 0.06, were obtained by melting for 30 min and two-step melting. Their characteristic temperatures, densities, refractive indices and microhardness were determined and the composition dependences studied.
