“…These properties include simplicity of production, low melting point, affordability, outstanding heat stability, high optical transparency, and exceptional glass-forming capacity [ 20 ]. Numerous successful industrial applications, such as sodium vapor lamps, solder glasses (low-temperature sealing glasses), solid-state lasers, bioactive glasses, radiation dosimetry, and gamma-ray shielding, have been drawn by unique properties [ [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] ]. However, borate-based glasses have certain complex limitations, including poor chemical durability, extreme hygroscopicity, and high phonon energies (1400 cm −1 ), that increase the non-radiative emission losses and reduce the radiative transition rate.…”

“…However, optical fading is another significant parameter to be given due consideration for dosimeters [42]. Optical fading relies on the intensity of light and its wavelength and exposure time [43,44]. Hence, TLDs must be shielded from direct light, particularly direct sunlight.…”

This work explores the thermoluminescence (TL) and photoluminescence (PL) properties of Ag/Y co‐doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanophosphor. The proposed dosimeter was prepared by the coprecipitation method and sintered at temperatures from 400°C to 1000°C in an air atmosphere. Raman spectroscopy was studied to investigate the structural features of this composition. The new proposed dosimeter revealed two peaks at 150°C and 175°C with a small shoulder at high temperature (225°C). The PL spectrum showed strong green emissions between 500 to 550 nm. The Raman spectrum showed many bands related to the interaction between ZnO, silver (Ag), and yttrium oxide (Y2O3). The rising sintering temperature enhanced the TL glow curve intensity. The Ag/Y co‐doped ZnO nanophosphor showed an excellent linearity index within a dose from 1 to 4 Gy. The minimum detectable dose (MDD) of the Ag/Y co‐doped ZnO nanopowder (pellets) equaled 0.518 mGy. The main TL properties were achieved in this work as follows: thermal fading (37% after 45 days at 1 and 4 Gy), optical fading (53% after 1 h and 68% after 6 h by exposure to sunlight), effective atomic number (27.6), and energy response (flat behavior from 0.1 to 1.3 MeV). Finally, the proposed material shows promising results nominated to be used for radiation measurements.

“…The attenuation coefficient is a very significant parameter for the investigation of how radiation interacts with matter since it shows us the percentage of energy that is either absorbed or scattered. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Different previous works reported the attenuation coefficients for different materials such as alloys, ceramics, rocks, concrete, glasses, and glass ceramics. [11][12][13][14][15][16] Glass is one of the safest materials used for packaging due to its make-up and qualities, and it has a recycling rate of one hundred percent.…”

Several radiation shielding parameters for (75-x)B2O3-10TeO2-13SrCO3 -2ZnO-xPbO glasses were evaluated between 0.284 and 1.333 MeV. The PbO content in the glass has a positive relationship with the density of the glasses, leading to BTSZP0, the glass with no PbO, having the smallest density, while BTSZP5, which has 40 PbO mol%, has the greatest density. Radiation shielding parameters such as mass attenuation coefficients and other related factors were computed, and relationships between PbO content, energy, and density are graphed. Linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) is reported and we evaluated the impact of density on the LAC values. By adding more PbO atoms, the density of the samples increased, leading to a higher LAC. The BTSZP0 sample has the highest HVL at all tested energies, with the BTSZP5 sample having the lowest HVL. Mean free path (MFP) has an inverse relationship with the density of each sample but increases with greater incoming photon energy. The effective atomic number (Zeff) values peak at low photon energies and rise significantly with increasing PbO content. The MFP and TVL of the BTSZP glasses are compared against previously tested glass samples at a set energy, and the values demosntrated the effectiveness of the BTSZP glasses.
