Doping of MnO (less than One mole %) in LP glass system promotes the transparency and the general quality of the LP glass.- Mn²⁺ occupying an O_h site in the LP glass network - The influence of the LP glass network on Mn²⁺ energy levels and its electronic structure seems to be different when the concentration of MnO is extremely small (0.2 mole%) - The observation of single band of Mn²⁺ in this case probably correlates well with the observation of forbidden hyperfine EPR transitions in the same glass.

Lead Phosphate, optical absorption spectra, ligand Coordination. Eutectic mixture, crystal field environment, forbidden bands.
