Abstract

The present chapter summarizes some physical properties of tellurite glasses when modified with transition metal oxides (TMO) and with rare-earth oxides (REO). The physical properties were thermal, optical, electrical, and mechanical. Also, some recent applications of tellurite glasses have been collected.
