“…On adding modifiers such as alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal oxides into TeO 2 , bulk glass samples can be prepared easily at a moderate quenching rate of $10 2 K s À1 (El-Mallawany, 2011; Kaur, Kaur et al, 2018; . Several tellurite systems are known to produce anti-glass materials (Burckhardt & Trö mel, 1983;Bertrand et al, 2015;Blasse et al, 1986;Trö mel et al, 1985Trö mel et al, , 1988Gupta & Khanna, 2018;Gupta et al, 2019;Wilding et al, 2016). An anti-glass is a disordered crystalline solid in which the cations (Te 4+ , Bi 3+ , La 3+ , Nb 5+ , Sr 2+ etc.)…”
