Thisfigure shows the temperature dependence of refractive indices (n) (i.e., thermo-optic coefficient)for xZnO � (100 � x)TeO2 glasses in the temperature range of 30–150 �C. The temperature depen-dence of refractive index is a very important physical property in the solid state science, and it ispossible to evaluate the temperature dependence of electronic polarizability.
