Recently, many studies trended to develop new glass systems to serve for various radiation applications. In this article, we report on the radiation attenuation and shielding performance of the Er/Cd/Li/Gd/Si glass system in the chemical form of 50SiO 2 ·30Li 2 O·(19 −  x )CdO·1Gd 2 O 3 · x Er 2 O 3...
