Abstract
The glass formation region in the system SeO2-B2O3-CuO has been determined using the melt quenching method of sealed
silica ampoules. Crystallization of CuB2O4 only has been observed in a wide concentrate region near the glass formation
boundary. The formation of three-component compounds was not proved. It was suggested that the section SeO2-CuB2O4
is the only quazi-binary one as a simple eutectic type. The presence of SeO3 (ν = 820 cm-1; 760-750 cm-1) units in the
amorphous samples has been confirmed by IR spectroscopy. A band at 540 cm-1 appears in the spectra, which may be
assigned to the CuO4 “square planar” units.
