Dielectric and optical properties of B₂O₃ – TeO₂ – Sm₂O₃ glass system

Glasses containing ternary system (B2O3)30 (TeO2)70-x (Sm2O3)x and (B2O3)30-x (TeO2)70 (Sm2O3)x were prepared by melt-quenching technique over a wide range of composition (x = 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0 and 1.2 mol %) denoted as BTS1, BTS2, BTS3, BTS4, BTS5 and BTS6, BTS7, BTS8, BTS9, BTS10 respectively.
