Glass series with general formula 25Li(2)O-(75-x)B2O3-x-Nd2O3 was prepared by conventional melt quench technique. Electrical and optical characterizations of these glasses were carried out. It was observed that conductivity of glasses decreased and activation energy increased with the addition of Nd2O3. The density and refractive index of the glasses increased while optical band gap and radiation length decreased due to structural changes.
