Abstract

Herein, this study primarily investigates the structural, physical, optical properties, and radiation shielding capabilities of the fabricated glass samples. The bulk (pellet) glass samples with compositions (30-x)BaO-30TiO₂-40SiO₂-xZrO₂ (0 ≤ x ≤ 6), were fabricated using a traditional melt-quenching technique. Further, XRD was performed to validate the amorphous state of the prepared glasses. Density of all the glass samples was calculated using mass-volume formula and observed to be in the range of 3.613–3.821 g/cm³. Additionally, to examine the optical behavior, UV-visible spectroscopy was performed. Indirect band gap energies were estimated from the Tauc’s plots, and found to be 4.191, 4.093, 4.042, and 3.841 eV for glasses BTSZ0, BTSZ2, BTSZ4, and BTSZ6 respectively. Moreover, refractive index and optical dielectric constant were found to be increased such as 2.134–2.201 and 4.554–4.846 with increasing content of ZrO₂. Furthermore, radiation shielding behaviour was studied using “Phy-X/PSD” software within the energy range of 0.015-15 MeV. At 0.02 MeV, BTSZ6 (24BaO-30TiO₂-40SiO₂-6ZrO₂) glass exhibited the maximum values for MAC, LAC, HVL, and TVL are 18.078 cm²/g, 69.072 cm^− 1, 0.01 cm, and 0.033 cm respectively. The BTSZ6 glass, with 6% ZrO₂, demonstrated superior gamma radiation protection and excellent optical and physical properties, making it highly suitable for optoelectronic, photonics, and radiation safety applications.

制备掺杂 ZrO2 的 (30-x)BaO-30TiO2-40SiO2-xZrO2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 6) 玻璃：增强光电子应用的物理、光学和辐射屏蔽特性

在此，本研究主要探讨所制造玻璃样品的结构、物理、光学特性和辐射屏蔽能力。采用传统的熔淬技术制备了成分为(30-x)BaO-30TiO2-40SiO2-xZrO2（0 ≤ x ≤ 6）的块状（颗粒）玻璃样品。此外，还通过 XRD 验证了所制备玻璃的无定形状态。使用质量-体积公式计算了所有玻璃样品的密度，结果显示密度范围为 3.613-3.821 g/cm3。此外，为了检查光学特性，还进行了紫外-可见光谱分析。根据陶氏图估算出间接带隙能，发现 BTSZ0、BTSZ2、BTSZ4 和 BTSZ6 玻璃的间接带隙能分别为 4.191、4.093、4.042 和 3.841 eV。此外，还发现折射率和光介电常数随着 ZrO2 含量的增加而增加，如 2.134-2.201 和 4.554-4.846。此外，还使用 "Phy-X/PSD "软件研究了 0.015-15 MeV 能量范围内的辐射屏蔽行为。在 0.02 MeV 时，BTSZ6（24BaO-30TiO2-40SiO2-6ZrO2）玻璃的 MAC、LAC、HVL 和 TVL 的最大值分别为 18.078 cm2/g、69.072 cm-1、0.01 cm 和 0.033 cm。含 6% ZrO2 的 BTSZ6 玻璃显示出卓越的伽马辐射防护性能以及出色的光学和物理性能，因此非常适合光电、光电子和辐射安全应用。
