Abstract

This work investigated the impacts of Nd₂O₃ addition on the

γ

-ray shielding, elastic, and structural properties of (La₂O₃–B₂O₃) glass systems. There is a noticeable colour shift from transparent colour to be light violet then to be dark violet. The

ρ

increased from 3.09 to 4.31, whereas V_m decreased from 26.68 to 20.36. The velocities increase from 4684 to 5034 for longitudinal velocity and from 1821 to 1995 for transverse velocity. The elastic moduli of the investigated samples containing doped Nd₂O₃ fall into the following order: BLN-2 > BLN-1.5 > BLN-1 > BLN-0.5 > BLN-0. The increase of MAC in the following order: BLN-2 > BLN-1.5 > BLN-1 > BLN-0.5 > BLN-0. The BLN-2 has the lowest HVLs and MFPs, while the BLN-0 has the highest. The results provide useful information for improving these glasses for uses for both strong mechanical construction and efficient radiation protection. Given that BLN-2 glass exhibits superior mechanical qualities compared to the other samples examined in this study, it is highly probable that BLN-2 glass could be employed as a possible shielding material.

期刊介绍： Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing. The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
