Phosphate glass with a composition of 15BaO-10PbO-5SrO-70P 2 O 5 has been prepared by 2.45 GHz microwave heating. In the 31 P MAS NMR spectra of this glass, we observed the strong Q 3 band corresponding to the branching PO 4 group which was not observed in the glass prepared by conventional electric furnace heating. The presence of branching points means that the glass prepared by microwave has three-dimensionally polymerized structure, which gives the higher stability of the glass.
