Neodymium doped phoshate glass system with composition (70-x)P 2 O 5 -10Bi 2 O 3 -10Na 2 O-10Gd 2 O3-xNd 2 O3 (x = 0; 0.05; 0.1; 0.5; 1.0; 3.0 mol%) have been prepared and characterized. All chemical compounds in powder form with a total mass of 20 grams are mixed in containers porcelain crucible with melt-quenching technique at 1200°C. The physical properties include: density, molar volume, refactive indeks, polaron radius and susceptibility were investigated by using Archimedes principle and mathematical calculation. From the absorption spectra can be obtained that the absorption band centered at ten transition peaks. The XRD result show that the glass structure be amorphous nature (no sharp peaks). The sample density also increases slowly following the increase in the concentration of Nd 3 +. The refractive index gradually increases from 1.63 for undoped glass to 1.673 for 3.0 Nd 3 + doped glass. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
