Elastic and radiation shielding properties of zinc borotellurite glass systems: The impact of gadolinium oxide
Using the formula [(TeO2)70(B2O3)30], this study examines the impact of Gd2O3 on the elasticity and radiation shielding characteristics of zinc borotellurite glass. Glass samples containing 1?5% mol% Gd2O3 were created by employing the melt quench technique. XRD verified that they are amorphous in n...
