description The combination of bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) in tellurite glass becomes an emerging issue due to the beneficial features offered scientifically and technologically. The embedment of copper and titanium NPs in the glass matrix is the focus of this research. Two series of glass with general composition of (70 - Xy) Te0»- 20Zn0 - 9Naz0 - 1ErOs = (x)CuO - (y)TiO; where x= 0.0, 0.04 and 0.1 mol%; y = 0.0, 0.04 and 0.1 mol% are prepared via melt-quenching technique. XRD spectra verify the amorphous nature of all glass samples with a presence of a broad hump around 25° - 40°. SEM images give information on the surface morphology and EDX spectra illustrates the elemental traces of Te, Er, Na, Zn, C, 0, Cu, Ti, and Au. The aspect ratio from the TEM images of TZNECu0.1, TZNETi0.1, and TZNECu0.1Ti0.1 glass sample displays the non-spherical shape of NPs in the range of 1-3, 1.00- 2.66 and 1.1-2.7, respectively.
