Abstract
A novel series of borate-based glasses in the system (xGd2O3-52.5B2O3-17.5SiO2-5TiO2-(25-x) Na2O: where x ranges from 0 to 12 mol%, were successfully synthesized and characterized. The density (ρ), of BSTNG-0 without Gd2O3 is 2.945 gcm−3, with the addition of Gd2O3 from 2 to 12 mol%, the (ρ), values of (BSTNG-2 – BSTNG-12) is between (3.318 and 4.882 gcm−3). X-ray diffraction configurations of BSTNG glasses revealed no indication of crystalline bands. It is noteworthy that the BSTNG-12 glass sample, with a value of approximately 101 °C, exhibits the strongest thermal stability against crystallization. As the insertion of Gd2O3 the (L, G, K, andYGPa), values are described as:L increase from 75.3 for BSTNG-0 to 137.4 for BSTNG-12, G increase from 16.3 for BSTNG-0 to 31.45 for BSTNG-12, K increase from 53.48 for BSTNG-0 to 95.5 for BSTNG-12, Y increase from 44.5 for BSTNG-0 to 85.03 for BSTNG-12. Among all the prepared samples, BSTNG-12 demonstrated the most effective gamma radiation shielding performance, attributed to its higher density and enhanced structural compactness.
