Physical Properties of Lithium Containing Cadmium Phosphate Glasses

Abstract

Lithium cadmium phosphate glasses were prepared by melt quench technique. These glasses contain a mole % composition of x% Li 2 O-(50-x)% CdO-50%P 2 O 5 . The quantity x varies from 0-40 mole%. The physical properties reported in this paper are mass density ρ, modulus of rigidity η, coefficient of linear expansion α, transition temperature T g , Softening temperature T s , Oxygen packing density, Molar volume and lithium ion concentration. The mass density, oxygen packing density, modulus rigidity, transition temperature and sof-tening temperature show decreasing trend with increasing concentration of lithium ions in these glasses, where molar volume and coefficient of linear expansion increases with increasing concentration of Li 2 O.
