Series of glass samples with composition (72.5-x)TeO2-15MgO-10Na2O-2.5Nd2O3-xNiO where 1.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.5 mol% are prepared using melt quenching method. The glasses are characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XRD spectra confirmed the amorphous nature of prepared glasses. TEM images manifest the existence of NiO NPs which are homogeneously distributed in the glass matrix. The magnetization M(H) curve reveals that the glass displays an anomalous hysteresis behavior at room temperature. It is observed that M(H) is dependent on the NiO content. The initial curve of magnetization lies positively as a function of the magnetic field under 1000 H (O.e).
