The Influence of CoO/P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> Substitutions on the Structural, Mechanical, and Radiation Shielding of Boro-Phosphate Glasses
A new glass system (50−x)P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>–20B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–5Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>–25Na<sub>2</sub>O–xCoO was manufactured using a standard melt quenching procedure, where 1≤ x ≤ 12 mol%. T...
