Iron doped mixed alkali cadmium phosphate (LiNaCdP) glasses of the following chemical composition xLi2O + (20-x)Na2O + 20CdO + 59.5P2O5 + 0.5Fe2O3 (5 < x < 15) were prepared by melt quenching technique to study the mixed alkali eect. To manifest the mixed alkali eect, electron paramagnetic resonance and optical absorption studies were carried out at room temperature for these phosphate glasses. The physical and optical properties of these glasses have been evaluated. The results accomplished for the present glass system point out the presence of mixed alkali eect for x = 10.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
