Structure Prediction of Rare Earth Doped BaO and MgO Containing Aluminosilicate Glasses–the Model Case of Gd2O3

The medium-range atomic structure of magnesium and barium aluminosilicate glasses doped with Gd2O3 as a model rare earth oxide is elucidated using molecular dynamics simulations. Our structure models rationalize the strong dependence of the luminescence properties of the glasses on their chemical co...
