Abstract
The current study aims to synthesize radiation-shielding glass materials by adding MgO in different ratios. The melt quenching technique was used to produce the MgO doped glasses. XRD examination verified the produced MgO cubic phase. Glass samples were examined for their various physical properties and gamma radiation shielding abilities. The density of obtained samples rises with MgO concentration, from 2.647 to 2.744 g cm–3. Experimental measurements of the MgO adding glasses’ LAC, HVL, TVL, MFP, and MAC values were made for gamma-ray energies of 384, 1173, and 1333 keV. For gamma rays with energy of 384, 1173, and 1333 keV, existing glasses displayed a decreasing behavior in the half value layer with an increase in MgO additive, whereas it caused an increase in behavior in the linear absorption coefficient and mass attenuation coefficient values. These findings suggest that current glasses hold promise for use in radiation shielding.
