Abstract
This paper presents measured data on glass transition temperature, thermal expansion coefficient, density and hardness of some Ge-Sb-Se glasses. A method of purifying the elements Sb and Se from surface oxides is reported which enables low absorption glass to be synthesized. Suitable compositions for bulk synthesis are identified.
