We have synthesized fascinating nano-structure of Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) using controlled template-assisted electrochemical deposition technique which showed interesting anisotropic magnetic behavior. The nanotubes of Gd2O3 with average diameter 200 nm, length 10 µm and wall thickness 20 nm a...detailed

The effect of the addition of gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) in the thermal behavior of a (66%) kaolinitic ball clay was studied and compared with the pure clay.The incorporation of Gd2O3 is of technological interest for the design of smart ceramic proppants used for unconventional gas and oil well st...detailed

Natural gadolinium oxide is added in nuclear fuels of compact design reactors to control the power mainly on the start of operation, as neutronic poison. Gadolinium has a high neutron absorption cross section (σγ). All Gd isotopes have significant σγ, specially 155 and 157 (60,900 and 254,00...detailed

Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) nanoparticles with paramagnetic properties and biocompatible surfaces are promising materials for bioimaging applications. We synthesized in situ pegylated Gd2O3 (Gd2O3@PEG) nanoparticles by liquid phase pulsed laser ablation (PLAL) of a gadolinium target in a polyethyle...detailed

The inappropriate and surfeit use of antibiotics have generated a hunt for safe and alternative antimicrobial agents against pathogenic bacteria. With the advancement in nanoscience and nanotechnology, promising opportunities for examining the bacterial effect of metal nanoparticles were demonst...detailed

Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) is a potentially effective mineral additive that improves neutron shielding properties of cement based composites. The paper presents the influence of Gd2O3 and ulexite (a boron compound) on Portland cement hydration evaluated by isothermal calorimetry measurements and s...detailed

Neuroblastoma accounts for 8–10% of malignancies in infants and children. It is urgent to develop an appropriate theranostic agent for effective diagnosis and therapy of neuroblastoma. Herein, we constructed RVG peptide and IRDye800-conjugated bovine serum albumin-coated triangular gadolinium o...detailed

A simple, solvothermal method has been used to synthesize gadolinium oxide nanoparticles with 3 wt.% terbium doping (3% Tb-doped Gd2O3). The particles have cubic crystal structure (Space group Ia-3, No. 206). The mean particle size estimated from transmission electron microscopy is ∼ 55 nm and ...detailed
