Synthesis and characterisation of dysprosium-doped borate glasses for use in radiation dosimeters
This paper reports on the synthesis and characterisation of Dy2O3-doped magnesium borate (MB) glasses containing different modifiers, lithium, calcium, and sodium oxides. Glasses composed of (70-z)B2O3-20Li2O; CaO; Na2O-10MgO-zDy2O3 (where 0.05≤z≤0.7 mol%) were prepared using the melt-quenching meth...
