Abstract

Glasses consisting of sodium phosphate and more than 70 weight % tungsten trioxide, when doped with lanthanides, undergo phase separations producing monazite-type PrPO4 and EuPO4 or xenotime-type HoPO4 and TmPO4 identified with X-ray diffraction powder-diagrams, and compared with previous studies of luminescence, and nucleation of silicate glasses induced by chromium(III).
