In this study, lanthanum boron silicate glasses were prepared with a composition of x Li2O-(60-x)B2O3-5CaO- 5BaO-7ZnO-10SiO2-10La2O3-3Y2O3 where = 1,3,5,7, and 9 mol%. Each was melted in platinum crucible under atmospheric conditions at 1,400 °C for 2 h. Clear transmittance exceeding 85 % fabricated. Their optical, thermal, physical properties, such as refractive index, Abbe number, density, gl...
