Hardness and structure of Er3+: Sm3+ co-doped oxychloride zinc tellurite glass

Glass samples with composition of (64-x)TeO2 + (x)ZnO + 15 ZnCl2 + 0.5 Sm2O3 + 0.5 Er2O3 (x = 20, 25 and 30 mol%) are prepared by melt quenching method. The season for co-doping with rare earth ions such as samarium (Sm3+) and erbium (Er3+) is to explore the feasibility of their simultaneous exploit...
