Abstract

In this research, we investigate the properties of zinc sodium phosphate glass system with various concentration of chromium oxide doped. The glass system was synthesized using melt quenching technique. The concentration of chromium oxide varying from 0.5% to 2.5%. We perform the vicker hardness test using 980 mNewton pressure. The test results show the concentration of chromium oxide effect to the hardness scale of glass system. We also perform FTIR test for knowing the relationship between the wavenumber and percentage of transmittance.

Keywords: zinc sodium phosphate glass, chromium oxide doped
