Abstract

Three glass samples were fabricated using the melt quench method to explore glass stability and radiation shielding properties. The current glasses are named CdTeB, ZnTeB, and SrTeB. The experimental shielding properties were performed for the current glasses with energy ranging from 0.184 to 0.810 MeV. Meanwhile, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to explore glass stability and the chemical states of different elements. The relative difference between theoretical and experimental radiation shielding properties results is less than 7.5 %, indicating high compatibility between the two results. The CdTeB sample showed the highest shielding properties. For example, the mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) values at 0.184 MeV are 0.492, 0.585, and 0.609 cm²/g for SrTeB, ZnTeB, and CdTeB samples. According to the XPS analysis of O 1s spectra, the ZnTeB sample contained the highest bridging oxygen (BO), followed by CdTeB and then SrTeB. Conversely, the SrTeB sample showed the highest nonbridging oxygen (NBO), indicating reduced glass stability. The XPS results are compatible with physical and structural properties. Based on the acquired results, the fabricated samples are valid for medical radiation shielding.

期刊介绍： In 1985, the Journal of Science was founded as a platform for publishing national and international research papers across various disciplines, including natural sciences, technology, social sciences, and humanities. Over the years, the journal has experienced remarkable growth in terms of quality, size, and scope. Today, it encompasses a diverse range of publications dedicated to academic research. Considering the rapid expansion of materials science, we are pleased to introduce the Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices. This new addition to our journal series offers researchers an exciting opportunity to publish their work on all aspects of materials science and technology within the esteemed Journal of Science. With this development, we aim to revolutionize the way research in materials science is expressed and organized, further strengthening our commitment to promoting outstanding research across various scientific and technological fields.
