A significant role of MoO3 on the optical, thermal, and radiation shielding characteristics of B2O3-P2O5-Li2O glasses

The glass system 42.5P(2)O(5)-42.5B(2)O(3)(15 - x) Li2O-x MoO3 x = (0, 2.5, 5.10 and 15), was fabricated using a melt-quenching technique. Optical features are examined depending on measuring the absorption and transmission of the prepared glasses. The energy gap (E-opt), increases from 2.23 to 2.49 e.V. Urbach (E-u), decreases from 0.513 to 0.5 e.V. Basicity, polarizability, electronegativity, and some physical constants are determined. The temperature of the glass transition T-g, increases from 493 to 532 degrees C, the temperature of onset glass crystallization T-c increases from 493 to 532 degrees C and the temperature of the crystallization T-p increases from 606 to 636 degrees C. Radiation shielding properties have been examined by Phy-X / PSD. The impact of adding MoO3 to the glasses on their shielding ability was investigated. The lower value of the (MFP) sample has been detected at a higher MoO3 concentration and it is good radiation attenuation glasses. For radiation protection applications, the investigational glasses had superior characteristics.

Automated summary

In this study, a glass system was fabricated by adding varying concentrations of MoO3. The optical features, thermal properties, and radiation shielding ability of the glasses were examined. It was found that the addition of MoO3 can alter the optical and thermal properties of the glasses, as well as improve their radiation protection applications.
