Diffraction experiments were performed on two (Nd2O3)x(P2O5)1 xglasses for studying the en- vironmental order of the Nd3+cations. In case of the metaphosphate glass (x= 0.25) a combination of X-ray and neutron diffraction data was used to separate the Nd-O and O-O first neighbor peaks.

An Nd-O coordination number of 6.60.3 and a mean Nd-O distance of (0.2390.001) nm were determined. In the ultraphosphate glass studied (x= 0.20) these values increase to 6.90.3 and (0.2400.001) nm where the Nd-O coordination number is equal to the number of terminal oxygen atoms (OT) which are available for coordination of each Nd3+cation. This indicates the formation of NdOnpolyhedra not sharing any O atom where also all OT’s are in Nd-OT-P positions. In the metaphosphate glass the NdOnpolyhedra have to share some OTsites.

Key words: Neutron Scattering; X-ray Scattering; Short-range Order; Phosphate Glasses.
