“…They found that the glass with 15 wt% of SrO had the highest attenuation factors (both mass and linear) and the lowest half-value thickness. Sallam et al [13] fabricated bismuth borate glass samples doped with Ni, Cu, and Co using a traditional melting technique and reported the radiation shielding characteristics using an experimental method at four energies (between 662 and 1333 keV). They found that the addition of 0.7% of Ni, Cu, and Co to the bismuth borate glasses enhanced the fabricated samples' shielding ability because these transition metal oxides can have several valance numbers.…”

Elastic moduli were theoretically computed using the Makishima–Mackenzie model for SiO2–Na2O–CaO glasses doped with Sb2O3 contents. The calculated elastic moduli (Young’s, bulk, shear, and longitudinal modulus) were observed to increase with an increase in the Sb2O3 contents. The microhardness showed an increase, while Poisson’s ratio decreased with the rise of the Sb2O3 contents. In addition, gamma-ray and neutron shielding parameters were evaluated for the investigated glasses. The linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) was simulated using the Monte Carlo N-particle transport code (MCNP-5). Other parameters, such as the mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), transmission factor (TF), and half-value layer, were calculated based on the simulated LAC. The addition of Sb2O3 content was observed to enhance the investigated glasses’ shielding parameters, where the highest LAC was achieved for the SCNSb10 glass with 10 mol% Sb2O3 and decreased from 0.441 to 0.154 cm−1 at gamma energies between 0.248 and 1.406 MeV. Furthermore, the fast neutron effective removal cross-section (∑R) was computed theoretically. The calculated results showed that the highest ∑R was equal to 0.0341 cm2g−1 and was obtained for the SCNSb0 glass, which had no Sb2O3 content, while the lowest ∑R was equal to 0.0286 cm2 g−1 for the SCNSb10 glass sample. The present work was carried out to examine the advantages of the soda–lime glasses with different Sb2O3 contents in several photon shielding applications, especially for radiation safety in nuclear installations.

A Systematical Characterization of TeO2–V2O5 Glass System Using Boron (III) Oxide and Neodymium (III) Oxide Substitution: Resistance Behaviors against Ionizing Radiation

This study aimed to perform an extensive characterization of a 74.75TeO2–0.25V2O5–(25 − x)B2O3-xNd2O3 glass system with (x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mol%) for radiation shielding properties. Linear and mass attenuation coefficients were determined using Phy-X PSD software and compared with the simulation using Monte Carlo software MCNPX (version 2.7.0). Half value layer, mean free path, tenth value layer, effective atomic number, exposure buildup factor, and energy absorption buildup factors of VTBNd0.0, VTBNd0.5, VTBNd1.0, and VTBNd1.5 glasses were determined, respectively. The results showed that boron (III) oxide and neodymium (III) oxide substitution has an obvious impact on the gamma ray attenuation properties of the studied glasses. It can be concluded that the VTBNd1.5 sample with the highest content of neodymium (III) oxide (1.5 mol%) is the superior sample for shielding of gamma radiation in the investigated energy range.

This work aimed to investigate the impact of Lead-fluoride based glasses via theoretical and simulation techniques on mechanical and radiation shielding parameters. Accordingly, a glass composition PbF2 blended with TeO2-B2O3-Bi2O3 glasses were synthesised by using melt-quenching method. Using Fluka Monte Carlo code, the radiation shielding properties have measured. Moreover. Comparatively higher density PbF80= 6.163g/cm3 with 80 mol % Bi2O3, greater µ, µm and Zeff and lower T1/2, l, tenth value layer values achieved for TeO2-B2O3-Bi2O3/PbF2 glass pointed it out as the best shield of gamma. Besides, the computed effective removal cross-sections against fast neutrons (ΣR) observed that the PbF80 sample has commensurately greater with value 5.2954 (cm-1) The results observed that the variation Bi2O3/PbF2 improves the gamma protection ability of Lead-fluoride based glasses. The longitudinal modulus-L, shear modulus-S, bulk modulus-K, and Young’s modulus-Y raised from 15.89 to 25.9 -GPa, from 8.49 to 12.09 -GPa, from 4.58 to 9.77 -GPa, and from 15.74 to 25.69 -GPa, respectively. The results indicate that the highest Bi2O3/PbF2 ratio encoded PbF80 has the best shielding and mechanical competence with measurable physical properties.
