Enhanced structural and physical properties of Sb2O3–K2O-B2O3 glasses: role of B2O3 incorporation

A series of antimony-based glasses with the nominal composition (80-x)Sb2O3–20 K2O-xB2O3 (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 40 mol%) was synthesized using the conventional melt-quenching technique. X-ray diffraction indicates the amorphous nature of all prepared samples. The influence of B2O3 incorporation on the structural, thermal, physical,...
