Molybdenum Phosphate Glasses Containing Ag2O or K2O

Abstract
Glasses in the systems MoO3‐P2O5‐Ag2O and MoO3‐P2O5‐K2O were investigated and general areas of composition for good glass formation were determined by X‐ray diffraction methods. Temperature coefficients of electrical resistivity and linear expansion were determined for the glasses along with density, durability, and other thermal characteristics. Resistivity of the glasses was effectively reduced by the addition of Ag2O.
