Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="ijag12044-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A study of the glass properties with two opposite levels of hydroxyl content is presented for two different tellurite glass families with molar composition 70TeO₂‐10Bi₂O₃‐20ZnO and 80TeO₂‐20Nb₂O₅. We show that melting tellurite‐based glasses in a dried‐oxidant atmosphere (relative humidity &lt;1%) reduces drastically the OH impurities. The effect of reducing the OH content on the glass properties such as characteristic temperatures, crystallization stability (ΔT), density, and microhardness is investigated.</p> </abstract>
