Abstract

The influence of BaTiO₃ on the structural, thermal, mechanical, and radiation shielding characteristics of borate glass with the composition of (60-x)B2O₃ + 10SrO + 15Na₂O + 15CaO + (x)BaTiO₃ (where x: 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 mol%) was manufactured using the conventional melt quenching technique. The physical, thermal, mechanical, and radiation shielding capabilities of the glasses manufactured with this specified composition were systematically examined. As the BaTiO₃ concentration increased from 0 to 10%, the density of the glass climbed by 11.85%, and the thermal stability of the glass (ΔT) improved with the increasing BaTiO₃ concentration. The microhardness measurements of the obtained glasses ranged from 5.35 to 5.84 GP. The MAC value at 81 keV is 0.0939 cm⁻¹ for 0% BaTiO₃ and increases linearly with BaTiO₃ concentration, reaching 0.1288 cm⁻¹ for 10% BaTiO₃. The Mass Attenuation Coefficient (MAC) values for five distinct gamma energies were simulated using the MCNP6.2 software, using the Monte Carlo approach, and then compared with experimental data. The trustworthiness of our results was corroborated by comparison with theoretical data from XCOM, demonstrating strong concordance across the experimental, theoretical, and simulated findings.

期刊介绍： Optical and Quantum Electronics provides an international forum for the publication of original research papers, tutorial reviews and letters in such fields as optical physics, optical engineering and optoelectronics. Special issues are published on topics of current interest. Optical and Quantum Electronics is published monthly. It is concerned with the technology and physics of optical systems, components and devices, i.e., with topics such as: optical fibres; semiconductor lasers and LEDs; light detection and imaging devices; nanophotonics; photonic integration and optoelectronic integrated circuits; silicon photonics; displays; optical communications from devices to systems; materials for photonics (e.g. semiconductors, glasses, graphene); the physics and simulation of optical devices and systems; nanotechnologies in photonics (including engineered nano-structures such as photonic crystals, sub-wavelength photonic structures, metamaterials, and plasmonics); advanced quantum and optoelectronic applications (e.g. quantum computing, memory and communications, quantum sensing and quantum dots); photonic sensors and bio-sensors; Terahertz phenomena; non-linear optics and ultrafast phenomena; green photonics.
