Effect of a Heavy Metal Oxide on the Radiation Shielding Parameters for Some Borate Glasses.

摘要

ABSTRACT Glasses of the system 0.45M-0.55B2O3 where M=Li2O, Na2O, K2O, Bi2O3 were prepared using the melt quenching technique. In order to evaluate gamma-ray shielding properties for glass samples, mass attenuation coefficients have been calculated with the XCOM computer program. The values of effective atomic number at various photon energies is calculated. Values of half value layers have been compared with barite concrete. Density and molar volume studies have been undertaken to get the idea .
