      abstract = {This book provides expert coverage of the physical  properties of new non-crystalline solids--tellurite glass  smart materials--and the latest applications of these  materials, offering insights into innovative applications  for radiation shielding, energy harvesting, laser devices,  and temperature sensing, among others. In particular, there  is a focus on optics, energy conversion technology and  laser devices, structural and luminescence properties for  laser applications, optothermal and optical properties in  the presence of gold nanoparticles, and lanthanide doped  zinc oxyfluoro-tellurite glass as a new smart material.  Additional chapters address the properties and uses of  tellurite glasses in optical sensing, the significance of  Near Infrared (NIR) emissions, solar cells, solar energy  harvesting, luminescent displays, and the development of  bioactive-based tellurite-lanthanide (Te-Ln) doped  hydroxyapatite composites for biomedical applications. As  the world's reliance on glass increases, this book serves  as a link between the latest findings on tellurite glasses  and real-world technological advancement. Academic  researchers and industry professionals alike will find this  book a useful resource in keeping abreast of recent  developments in the field.},
