Gamma-ray attenuation characteristics and vibrational and thermal features have been studied for singly doped erbium (Er), dysprosium (Dy), and Er/Dycodoped sodium lithium zinc lead borotellurite glasses. For all glasses, the amorphous nature was confirmed from the x-ray diffraction profiles, and BO...
