A series of glasses based on the system 48SiO2-(36-X) ZnO-6CaO-8SrO-2P2O5-XTa2O5 with X varying from 0 mol% (Ta0) to 8 mol% (Ta4) were fabricated. The structural features as a function of Ta2O5 content were investigated by network connectivity (NC) calculations, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoe...
