This paper explains the role of molybdenum on the structural analysis of the investigated rare earth ion Pr 3 + doped, lead borate (75 PbO — [25 – (x+y)]B 2 O 3 —yMoO 3 —xPr 2 O 3 ) glass matrix has been discussed using the relation between Tg and structural parameters like average cross-link density ( n ¯ c ), average stretching force constant (F) and the number of bonds per unit volume (n b ). Densities, molar volume have been measured as a function of MoO3 content. Linear variation in density and in the molar volume has been observed and is credited to the role of MoO 3 in the investigated glasses. Based on the properties like good stability and bond strength, investigated glasses possibly suitable for the design of optoelectronic devices.
