Neodymium doped borotellurite glass is well known to be one of the most promising candidate due to it various applications. Nd3+ doped lead borotellurite glasses containing silver were successfully been prepared by conventional melt-quenching method with the chemical composition (69.5-x)TeO2-20B2O3-10PbO-0.5Nd2O3-xAgNO3 (where x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol %). The physical properties such as density, molar volume and oxygen packing density were measured. Their structural properties of the glass system were studied via X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. From the result, the amorphous nature of the prepared glass samples have been confirmed through X-ray diffraction spectral analysis. The presence of Te-O-Te or O-Te-O, Ag-O, Te-O-Pb and B-O and characteristic of the hydrogen bond in the prepared glasses were explored through the FTIR spectral studies recorded in the 400-4000 cm-1 wave number range at room temperature. Meanwhile, the results of physical properties are found to vary with respect to concentration of AgNO3 content. Some other results will be reported and discussed. © 2018, Malaysian Society of Analytical Sciences. All rights reserved.
