Barium phosphate glass with fixed barium oxide (BaO) at 40 mol% and vanadium oxide (V2O5) at 1 mol% was successfully synthesized by the melt quenching process. Different concentrations of tellurium oxide (TeO2) were introduced at the expense of the phosphate groups (P2O5) to improve and modify the elastic and radiation shielding properties. The elastic parameters were calculated from the Makishima-Mackenzie model. The radiation shielding parameters were simulated and studied using the XCOM database to check the availability of such glass to withstand the X-ray and gamma energies.
