Investigation of Er<sup>3+</sup> Ions Reinforced Zinc-Phosphate Glasses for Ionizing Radiation Shielding Applications

Melt quenching technique is used for preparing glasses with chemical formula (70P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>)–(16 − x)CdO–(14ZnO)–(xEr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), (x = 1–6 mol%). These glasses were named Er1, Er2, Er3, Er4, Er5, and Er6, respectively. Pho...
