Abstract—The effect of tungsten oxide on the crystallization properties of glasses of the 37.5B2O3 22.5La2O3
(40 – x)Nb2O5 xWO3 (where x = 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 mol %) system when replacing them with niobium pent-
oxide is studied. It is established that during the crystallization of glasses containing niobium and tungsten,
the parallel precipitation of crystalline phases of complex LaxNbyAlzWnOm tungstates and LaNbWAlBO
borates of a variable chemical composition is observed.
