Phase equilibria and glass formation studies of the (1 ?x)TeO2?i xmlns="""">xCdO system (0.05 ?x ?0.33 mol) were realized by using differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The samples were prepared by applying a conventional melt-quenching technique at 800 ¡ãC. The glass formation range of the system was determined as 0.05 ?x < 0.15 and the sample containing 10 mol % CdO showed the highest glass stability. Crystallization behavior of the TeO2¨CCdO glasses was investigated and formation and/or transformation of different phases were detected for each crystallization reaction. In order to obtain thermal stability of the system, as-cast samples were heat-treated above all crystallization reaction temperatures at 550 ¡ãC for 24 h. A binary eutectic: liquid ?TeO2 + CdTe2O5 was detected at 638 ¡À 4 ¡ãC. Crystallization behavior of the TeO2¨CCdO glasses and microstructural characterization of the TeO2¨CCdTe2O5 system was realized.
