This work introduces a novel environmentally friendly method to produce borosilicate glass doped with neodymium from agro-waste materials for obtaining progressive laser amplifier glass with good radiation shielding properties. Glass with (mol%) 24 SiO2–43 B2O3–33 Na2O-xNd2O3 where x=0, 2, 4%, were...
