Abstract

Gd2O3-doped glasses in the B2O3–CaO–Na2O–SrO–P2O5 system were synthesized via melt annealing route and characterized through physical properties. With the replacement of CaO by Gd2O3, the measured values of the density (ds), Gd3+ ions concentration (N), packing density (Pd), oxygen packing density (OPD), Vickers’s hardness (HV), and field strength (F) of the synthesized samples increased, whereas the molar volume (Vm), free volume (Vf), polaron radius (rp), average boron–boron distance (dB–B), and inter-nuclear distance (ri) decreased. The glassy nature of the synthesized samples is confirmed by the X-ray diffraction patterns. The change in the coordination number of boron and the different B–O vibrational bands with the incorporation of gadolinium ions in the investigated glass samples were examined by Raman and FTIR spectroscopy, which supported the presence of BO3, BO4, and GdO4 groups.
