Preparation and properties characterization of P2O5-KNO3-K2O glass

A series of glass based on 50P2O5-xKNO3-(50-x) K2O system where 0 < x £ 50 mol % has successfully been prepared using melt-quenched technique. The glass crystallinity has been confirmed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis while the microhardness is measured using Vickers indenter. It is found...
