Abstract:Trivalent gadolinium (Gd3+)-doped calcium zinc silicate (Ca2ZnSi2O7/hardystonite) with a molar composition of Ca2−x
ZnSi2O7:xGd3+ (x = 0.09 mol) was produced using a sol–gel system. The hardystonite was characterized using X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction study revealed that the prepared sample contained a tetragonal phase of Ca2ZnSi2O7. The vibrational structures of the sample were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measu… Show more
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.
