“…MAC and LAC generally describes the interaction probability between gamma photons and the mass per unit are for certain medium [23]. The MAC and LAC for all Cd0, Cd2.5, Cd5, Cd 10 and Cd15 glass specimen were calculated and plotted against gamma ray energy in Figures (10,11) respectively, for changing content of CdO. From the gures, it is obvious that the MAC and LAC are highest at lower gamma-ray energies.…”

“…Currently, many investigations have studied the physical, structural, and optical properties of the CdOdoped glass systems [1,[9][10][11][12][13][18][19][20][21][22], which showed the high ability of these glasses as radiation shielding materials with marked improvements in the physical and optical properties. Therefore, the authors in the current article intended to describe the impact of the introduction of CdO in place of Al 2 O 3 on the new ternary Na2O-BaO-Al2O3-P2O5 glass system on its physical, structural, and optical characteristics.…”

With the intention of investigating the impact of Al2O3 replacement by CdO on the physical, structural, and optical properties of sodium barium phosphate glasses with chemical compositions of 20Na2O-25BaO-(15–x) Al2O3-xCdO-40P2O5 were created using the traditional melt-quenching technique with coded as Cdx depending on cadmium amount, where (x = 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 15 mol%). Shielding parameters against gamma rays were also reported for the modified glass samples. A shot-range of amorphous nature was detected by the XRD analysis. The value of the density (ρg) increased linearly with CdO content, from 3.24 to 3.87 g/cm3. On the other hand, an opposing behavior was observed for the molar volume (Vm) and crystalline volume, (Vc). FTIR spectra were carried out and confirmed the structure changing by replacing Al2O3 by CdO. Optical absorption spectra show a valuable difference at both energy gap and Urbach energy by increasing the CdO content. Radiation shielding parameters such as MAC, LAC, HVL, MFP, and Zeff, were calculated using Phy-X/PSD. We found that the CdO / Al2O3 replacement enhanced all the shielding parameters. The obtained results indicated that the increasing in CdO content modifying the structural properties and improves the shielding abilities of the studied samples. Therefore, the prepared glasses could be considered as promising as shielding materials.
