In order to demonstrate the effects of Sm3+ and Gd3+ ions on the crystalline microstructures of the magnesium-boro-alumino-silicate (MBAS) system, the K2O–MgO–B2O3–Al2O3–SiO2–F glass doped with 0–5 mol% Sm2O3 and Gd2O3 were synthesized by melt-quenching (1550 °C).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
