Samarium (III) oxide doped zinc-borosilicate glasses were successfully fabricated using the melt-quenching method by using SLS glass as a source of SiO2. With the progression of Sm3+ concentration, the density of the sample improved from 3.423 g/cm3 to 3.495 g/cm3, while the molar volume raised from...
