The addition of Gd2O3 causes the glass system to be highly ionic resulting in increasing rigidity and the tendency of devitrification. Gd2O3 affects the strength governing the elastic properties of the glass. The elastic moduli of the prepared glasses are expected to increase with the addition of th...
