Abstract
The work explores the effect of three lead halides, PbX2 (X = F, Cl, Br), on the radiation-shielding and mechanical properties of Bi2O3-MoO3-B2O3 glasses. These high-density glasses may be potential candidates for radiation-based technologies. The analysis of the results shows that in the photon energy ranges of 0.015–15 MeV, the PbBr2-rich samples with 20 mol% present high shielding parameters such as linear attenuation coefficient (LAC = 468 cm−1), mass attenuation coefficient (MAC = 95.6 cm2/g) at 0.015 MeV, effective atomic number (Zeff = 88.5), and electron density (Neff = 8.96 electron/cm3) at 0.1 MeV. Furthermore, the increase in the concentrations of PbX2, particularly in the glass containing 20 mol% of PbBr2, presents a good correlation between density and enhanced cross-link density. This relationship reflects an increment in the calculated elastic moduli through two theoretical models, indicating improved mechanical properties by incorporating various concentrations of PbX2 with adjustments based on halide type.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
