Abstract : Phosphate glasses have received considerable attention over the past several decades due to their distinctive properties and wide range of potential applications. Due to their lower melting and softening temperature, high electric conductivity and optical characteristic, phosphate glasses have been the subject of a large number of applications particularly in medicine, biology, optic, electronic [1,9,10]. Furthermore, alkali phosphate glasses have gained significant scientific interest due to their high ionic conductivity, relatively low melting temperature, and excellent glass-forming ability [1,9].

Keywords : Sodium Phosphate Glass; ZnO; Melt Quenching; XRD; Density; Molar Volume.
