Glass formation in the Sb2O3-CdCl2-SrCl2 ternary system

► Compositional limits of glass formation are reported in the Sb2O3-SrCl2-CdCl2 system. ► Glass formation is enhanced when ZnCl2 replaces CdCl2. ► Glass transition temperature increases with chloride content. ► Substituting Sb2O3 by CdCl2 results in the decrease of thermal expansion, Vickers microhardness, Young and bulk modulus.
