Abstract: The physical and structural characterization of Chromium ions doped xSrO (20-x) Li2O (10-y) CaO-70B2O3-y, (x=5, 10, 15 mol %) and y=0.1mol % ( Cr2O3) (SLCB) glasses have been studied. Choices of physical parameters are evaluated for the synthesized glasses. The X-ray diffractograms (XRD) of all the synthesized glass samples confirm the non crystalline character. The Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) spectral investigations of chromium ions doped glasses exhibits characteristic vibrations of BO3 units.
