Investigation of photon, neutron and proton shielding features of H3BO3-ZnO-Na2O-BaO glass system

M. H. A. Mhareb et al.

Summary: The current study investigated the shielding properties of multi-component borate-based glass series. Seven glass samples were synthesized with varying BaO concentrations, showing that the addition of BaO enhanced the mass attenuation coefficient and specific gamma-ray constants while reducing other shielding parameters. These results suggest the potential use of these glasses in various radiation shielding applications.

Optical, mechanical properties of TeO2-CdO-PbO-B2O3 glass systems and radiation shielding investigation using EPICS2017 library

M. I. Sayyed et al.

Summary: The TeO2-CdO-PbO-B2O3 glass system was prepared using the melt quenching method. It was observed that optical packing density, number of bonds per unit volume, and various elastic moduli increased with higher PbO content. Additionally, indirect and direct band gap energies decreased as the concentration of PbO increased. The mass attenuation coefficient derived from EPICS2017 library showed higher values at lower energies compared to Phy-X/PSD, but lower values at higher energies.
