Abstract:The radiation shielding abilities of europium oxide doped bismuth tellurium barium zinc borosilicate glasses were investigated. Five glass samples, denoted as BiTeEu-0, BiTeEu-1, BiTeEu-2, BiTeEu-3, and BiTeEu-4, were assessed to determine their effectiveness in shielding against incident photon energies of 356, 662, 1173, and 1332 KeV. The glass composition was 12B2O3 - 16SiO2-xEu2O3-(40-x)TeO2-12Bi2O3-12ZnO-8BaO, where x ranged from 0 to 4 mol%. In order to assess the effectiveness of the prepared glass syst… Show more
