Impact of TeO2-B2O3 manipulation on optical and radiation shielding properties of mixed glass former borotellurite glass

(80-x)B2O3-xTeO2-10Li2O-Al2O3 (x=10-60 mol%) mixed glass former (MGF) glasses were prepared by using melt-quenching method to investigate the effect of mixed glass former between B2O3 and TeO2 on the optical properties and to evaluate the radiation shielding ability of the glass. Extremes observed a...

Description
Summary:(80-x)B2O3-xTeO2-10Li2O-Al2O3 (x=10-60 mol%) mixed glass former (MGF) glasses were prepared by using melt-quenching method to investigate the effect of mixed glass former between B2O3 and TeO2 on the optical properties and to evaluate the radiation shielding ability of the glass. Extremes observed at x=40 mol% for all optical properties’ parameters were suggested due to large number of non-bridging oxygen. The radiation shielding properties of the glass samples were determined for 0.284 MeV–1.333 MeV energy range by using Phy-X/PSD software. The studied radiation parameters have shown enhancement due to high density and high atomic number, Z of Te over B. © 2023, S.C. Virtual Company of Phisics S.R.L. All rights reserved.
