Density and FTIR study of Fe2O3 – V2O5 – Na2O – B2O3 dilute magnetic glasses

Manganese addition effect on structural and physical properties of calcium borovanadate glasses

“…The choice of appropriate modifiers and intermediate oxides for borate glasses makes it possible to make considerable changes to the structure, the band gap and various other physiochemical properties. Moreover, the incorporate of vanadium V 2 O 5 to borate glasses has gained significant interest due to their extensive uses in industry, science and medicine [ 6 , 7 ] inclusive optical and electrical switched memory, active cathode compound for semiconductor device and optical fiber packaging [ 8 , 9 ], because of their excellent semiconducting characteristics [ [10] , [11] , [12] ]. The semiconducting characteristics of glasses containing V 2 O 5 are achieved through the hopping of the 3d1 electron from the V 4+ and V 5+ states [ [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] ].…”
