Liquid phase separation was studied in three component systems TeO₂-B₂O₃-M₂O₃, where M₂O₃ = Al₂O₃, Ga₂O₃, Sc₂O₃, La₂O₃ and Bi₂O₃. The boundaries between one- and two-phase glasses were determined. Near these boundaries different cases of microheterogeneous structure as a result of metastable immiscibility were established by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). IR data analysis indicated that the existence of homogeneous glasses is related with the simultaneous participation of BO₃⁻ and BO₄⁻groups in the glassy network.
