Shynthesis and characterization of wollastonite glassceramics prepared from cullet doped with samarium oxide

Wollastonite (CaSiO3) based glass ceramics doped with various amounts of samarium oxide (Sm2O3) were prepared using a melt-quenching technique based on the empirical formula [(CaO)0.21(SLS)0.79]1-y(Sm2O3)y, y=(0,1,2,3,4,5) wt.%. The effect of different sintering temperatures on physical, optical...
