Investigation of $xV_2O_5-B_2O_3$ and $xV_2O_5-B_2O_3-yNa_3O$ Glasses by $^{11}B MAS$ NMR

$^{11}B MAS NMR$ spectra of binary glass system $xV_2O5-B_2O_3$ and ternary glass system $xV_2O5-B_2O_3-yNa_2O$ (x = $V_2O_5 mol%/$B_2O_3$ mol%, y = $Na_2O$ mol$/$B_2O_3$ mol%) were acquired. $BO_3$ units are dominant components in the spectra of $xV_2O_5-B_2O_3$glass systems while both $BO_3$ and $BO_4$ unit appear in comparable amounts in the spectra of $xV_2O_5-B_2O_3-yNa_2O$ glass systems. More $BO_3$ units were monitored for higher $V_2O_5$ contents while more $BO_4$ unit for higher $Na_2O$ contents. Quadrupole parameters such as $e^2qQ$ and $\eta$ obtained form spectral simulation indicate that $e^2qQ$ has a maximum value at x = y 1 and $\eta$ decreases and increases as x or y grows, respectively. Our results suggest that $V_2O_5$ and $Na_2O$ play opposite roles in the ternary glasses.
