Influence of vanadium oxide on the structural, optical, mechanical and dielectric properties of cadmium borate glasses by A. Kh. Helmy, Takwa E. Ellakwa, Gehan T. El-BassyounI, M. A. Azooz, M. A. Ouis, Mohammed A. Taha

“…The successive addition of V2O5 up to 2 mol% at the expense of CdO in the glass network led to an increase in density from 4.27 to 4.69 g/cm3 for the prepared glasses while adding more V2O5 led to a decrease in density. The molar volume showed the same trend that occurred in the density, but in an opposite direction, as it decreased by increasing V2O5 content till the 2 mol% samples, then increased. …”
