D. Ilieva et al., INFRARED SPECTRAL STUDY ON TELLURITE VANADATE VITREOUS SYSTEMS CONTAINING ZNO AND CDO, Physics and Chemistry of Glasses, 38(2), 1997, pp. 79-82
The influence of zine and cadmium oxides on the structure of glasses i
n the 2 TeO2.V2O5-MeO (Me=Zn, Cd) systems was investigated The glasses
were prepared with a high ZnO and CdO concentration up to 75 mol %. I
t was found that TeO3 units with different symmetry exist in the whole
concentration range and that the increase in ZnO and CdO content caus
ed changes in vanadium coordination number towards oxygen from 5 to 4.
This study showed that low fold coordinated Zn2+ and Cd2+ ions with r
espect to oxygen build up the network of the glasses at a high ZnO and
CdO content.
