This work focus on fabrication of new Gd3+-doped willemite (Zn2SiO4) glass-ceramics derived from the Gd2O3–ZnO–Al2O3–B2O3–SiO2 (Gd-ZABS) glass system by a controlled sintering process. The physical characteristic with formation of Gd3+-doped Zn2SiO4 glass-ceramic crystal phase, morphology and struct...
